> Plus the social damage, lots of those plantations are on indigenous lands stolen by various machinations in the past.
How is this “social damage” the fault of the forestry company and not the folks who took the land 200 years ago?
All land is stolen, as I’m sure the indigenous tribe in Chile who lived there took it from someone else who was already there. I’m not asking the modern ancestors of the Normans to give me back my ancestor’s Anglo Saxon lands in Northumberland. Nor am I blaming them for it 1,000 years later.
