That' equivalent to twofootball fields. An area the size of New York City is lost every day. In a year, that adds up to31 million hectares - more than the land area of Poland. This alarming rate of destruction hasserious consequences for the environment; scientist estimate, for example, that 137 species ofplant, insect or animal become extinct every day due to logging. In British Columbia, where,since 1990, thirteen rainforest valleys have been clear-cut, 142 species of salmon have alreadybecome extinct, and the habitats on grizzly bears, wolves and many other creatures arethreatened. Logging, however, provides jobs, profits, taxes for the government and cheapproducts of all kinds for consumers, so the government is reluctant to restrict or control it.Much of Canada's forestry production goes towards making pulp and paper. Accordingto the Canadian Pulp and Paper Association, Canada supplies 34% of the world's wood pulpand 49% of its newsprint paper. If these paper products could be produced in some other way,Canadian forests could be preserved. Recently, a possible alternative way of producing paperhas been suggested by agriculturalists and environmentalists: a plant called hemp.Hemp has been cultivated by many cultures for thousands of yours. It produces fibrewhich can be made into paper, fuel, oils, textiles, food, and rope. For centuries, it was essentialto the economies of many countries because it was used to make the ropes and cables used onsailing ships; colonial expansion and the establishment of a world-wide trading networkwould not have been feasible without hemp. Nowadays, ships' cables are usually made fromwire or synthetic fibres, but scientists are now suggesting that the cultivation of hemp shouldbe revived for the production of paper and pulp. According to its proponents, four times asmuch paper can be produced from land using hemp rather than trees, and manyenvironmentalists believe that the large-scale cultivation of hemp could reduce the pressure onCanada's forests.
