"It is a sorry thing to see that, as a rule, one tends to apply the simple formula which consists in destroying the forest to replace it with a domestic ecosystem, the homogeneity of which makes forest exploitation easier, and all the while, one neglects possible original solutions based on rational management of the natural ecosystem."
