English

Subject field(s)
  • Silviculture

Large scale destruction of trees.

CONT

Que l'homme détruise la nature pour aller vers plus d'humanité apparaît une excuse valable. Mais peut-on admettre l'arboricide généralisé, en faveur d'une recherche dénuée d'originalité [...] par contraste avec la seule vraie recherche, la seule aussi qui justifie de sacrifier tous ces arbres, la recherche de création?
