"The key problem for us humans, in comparison to giant trees, is that our life is too short, and we are too unrestrained in our greed and consumption. Any political, economic and administrative efforts, target to regulate forest governance and use, are unfortunately idle: whatever we say about importance to balance our market needs and reforestation capacity, nobody listen to us, and, even if listen, none hear. So, the only way to safe our environment is to act against total praying for profit." - Alexey LEBEDEV, President of BROC-Vladivostok
