Forest is a living community.
Logging industry is destroying communities when entire forests are cut.
 
In present time we assist to a genocide of the forests. And this affect us all
Let's find what would be the best comparison between human and forest rights.

 
1. Right to be protected by the action of the human society.
2. Right to coexist with other plants and animals.
3. Right to live and exist. Old trees and old forests should be protected.

4. Right to the clean air. No chemicals should be sprayed on the forest.
5. Right to be protected against radioactive waste.
6. Right to be treated with dignity without trowing garbage in the forest
7. Right to clean water - water should not be polluted with chemicals in the proximity of the forest.
8. New forests should be planted on unused land that would bring the ecosystem in equilibrium.
9. Paper should not be produced from wood it should be produced from hemp or other annual plants, no wood or wood products should be used in power plants
10. 60% of the land not used for human habitation should be planted with food forests trees that produce legumes and trees that produce fruits.
