WHO GETS TO CHOOSE

Let’s take a survey.

From : The Executive Summary CNFER Technical Report TR – 010

Centre For Northern Forest Ecosystem Research, Lakehead University

For

Ontario’s State of the Forest Report OMNR, 2002  (Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources)

From:

Telephone/mail survey of residents of Ontario and Interviews with LCC members (Local Citizen Committee)

Finding excerpts:

“Southern Ontarians were least supportive towards human use of natural resources.

Southern Ontarians were least knowledgeable about forest issues and least often used the forest.

LCC were most supportive toward human use of natural resources.

LCC were most knowledgeable about forest issues and most often used the forests.

Most Ontarian agreed that the concerns of communities in close proximity to forests should receive more weight in forest decision making than should the concerns from more distant communities.”

Wouldn’t it be loverly!
