Environmental Woes of Tierra del Fuego -- Forest Exploitation
Stumps and debris line a public road through a tract of Trillium/Savia-owned land in Argentine Tierra del Fuego. Environmentalists fear heavy logging equipment moving through the forests could damage the thin soil, making the already shallow-rooted trees more susceptible to the region's high winds. "It's not going to matter whether you're selectively logging or taking a clear cut because your trees are all going to end up fallen over," notes biologist Matt Robson of Utah State University.
