What percentage of its old growth forests does France retain?
If the answer is a very small number, doesn't that make historical France guilty of what these measures seek to prevent happening in Brazil?
To the extent this is a moral argument, shouldn't France atone for its misdeeds by regenerating wild forests, to be left unmolested in perpetuity?
If nobody is advocating any such thing, perhaps this isn't a moral argument, or even an environmental argument. Perhaps it's an economic initiative from the people who stand to gain from the French production of soy beans.
