Peter Forte No need. Firstly, they cut down trees only above a certain diameter so the canopy remains intact. Secondly, most tropical timber species are able to sprout from the stumps.

@@kenroyfortune3098 Actually local and foreign companies are cutting only around 20% of the allowed amount due to poor infrastructure , high cost and low profitability. The greatest and most dangerous threat to deforestation in Guyana is mining. They are responsible for 90% of deforestation in Guyana. The forestry industry is tightly regulated and controlled. The removal of top soil and abandoned dead pools of water takes decades , if not generations to repair not to mention the toxins being put into the waterways. I doubt Guyana has the ability to curb abuse by miners. These guys come in from all directions , they most fast and nasty.
