Need to explore how to make cities more livable. Need to examine the tax policies that are disincentives for forestry activities and preserving land. Need better a better way to value the benefits that forests provide. For instance, private forests have no way to show the value of oxygen production, carbon sequestration, biodiversity, water purification. Corporations are selling off their forests lands.
Governments provide little to no land planning for forests.
Land use should be viewed as an opportunity to improve the carbon issue.
