Gironde MP Sophie Panonacle is at the origin of a bill aimed at “responding to the challenges of adapting forests to climate change’ The idea is “to find a balance between economy and ecology” by preserving the yield of the forest and biodiversity. “We have to be able to evolve on this subject, because we have to change the model,” she says.
Despite the scientific arguments in favor of limiting clearcutting, many foresters defend this practice.
