Oronso Weekly Times, Wednesday, May 9, 199R1-13 Report from Ottawa ýRoss Stevenson Trees are extremely important to ail of us. Forests are one ai the world's major natural resaurces, and Canadian fareign aid is helping preserve them. Tropical rain farests, thaugh they caver only about seven per cent of the land surface, are the. richest ecological areas on our pianet. They pravide a home for almost 50 per cent ai ail the millions ai dif- ferent life species. Besides timber, they are a source ai a wide variety ai faods, medicines, even such things as latex and dyes. Rain forests are cansidered a most significant source of the very air we breathe. They alsa face destruction. These forests have almost- been eliminated from mast parts ai West A frica, Southern Asia, and the Car- rîbbean. Those in South America's Amazan River basin are now seriously threatened. Today there are about 2.5 billion acres of ramn forest, just bh aio what the world had in 1900. At pre- sent rates ai destruction, it's estimated we'il lose another 600 million acres by the year 2000. This is not simply wanton destruction. Thase responsible wanted those forests and the lands on which they stoad for agriculture, places to live, and for firewood. while it may be bard for Canadians to believe, far and away the largest use of woad in developing countries is for fuel. According ta the United Nations' Food and Agricultural Organization, one billion people now have less firewood than tbey need. By the end ai the century the total will be three billion -- balf ai the world's population! t's clear there will be dire conse- quences for al ai us if these trends are not reversed. As a leading forestry nation we have the knowledge and the expertise ta help, and we're doing s0 through the Canadian International Develapment Agency. CIDA's iarestry program assists more than 30 ieveloping nations in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Carribbean. Typically this help cornes in the form ai Canadian forestry experts, the specialized equipment they nced, and forest management and conservation training for local people. The aim is ta show these coun- tries how to combine forest use witb preservation -- ta ensure they get maximum passible benefit from their farests without destroying them, preserving the woodlands as a resource for future generations. There is enormaus potential for these and similar overseas aid pro- jects. In semi-arid regions af the warld there are about tbree billion acres ai unproductive land which was once cavered in farest and could be again. Thus, local Da.m owner convicted under Fisheries Act Mr. F. Daniel Land ai the Town ai Newcastle was convicted in Pro- vincial court ai charges under the Fisheries Act in connection with the release ai sult and sand from Pratt's dam on Cobourg Creek. In December 1988, logs were removed irom Pratt's dam resulting in, the release ai large amounts ai sult which severely affected downstream spawning and nursery areas ai rainbow trout, brown trout and Pacifie salmon. climates would be improved, souls rebuilt, shelter provided for people and game, and a variety ai products made available. This is one very important aspect ai Canada's Officiai Development Assistance ta Iess developed coun- tries which we al belp support.
