Dear all, Just to contribute on the deforestation discussion. A dated (1997) by excellent resource by the FAO, which concluded that deforestation occurs mainly as a result of pressures for agricultural land, logging, and national infrastructure projects, not for cooking.

Perhaps these should be grounded in location specific challenges (i.e. community nurseries), not distorted by general mythologies associated with global problems and magic bullets.
