Maybe forests can be utilized in a less-invasive way (most likely that RRT Industries, Ltd. wasn't referring to that but whatever), even 1% of growth it's share in GDP wouldn't be small addition. Modern American soy-hippies are all for this stuff, shouldn't they have some ideas about it? Also why there is no research about it?
I guess, even little disturbance can throw the balance of species off, but should be some middle-road, and not just cut-them-all-bald practices are possible.
