Here it is, the 1999 survey update Internet version. Due to the nature of the Interent we will now be able to update the Good Wood Guide more frequently. We hope you find it useful. Since the 1992 edition of the good wood guide, the logging and burning of rainforests has continued at unprecedented rates. Thousands upon thousands of species have become extinct and many ecosystems have been irreversibly damaged.
Climate change is under way.
The world rainforest movement has raised awareness about the plight of forests through the 1980's and 1990's. Publications such as the Good Wood Guide continue to provide a resource facilitating more ethical purchasing of timber products. We can change our lifestyles and our timber-purchase habits so that we do not contribute to the catastrophe. If we encourage others to do likewise, then we can help the planet to heal. Our actions really do make a difference.
