Forestry can’t act as he’s not committed any offence, they aren’t endangered and its all been done within the law and the market. 1984 is correct, many people in rural areas see the land as their source of income and only protect nature begrudgingly if it gets in the way of their revenue making. there are exceptions (such as a very strong Green movement up near where Process lives) but the lure of the “free market” is more powerful than any other forces, after all markets started off as ways to sell agricultural produce..
