text: The meaning of the term "selective cutting" is not moot. That's sort of the point here. Anyone who's bounced around this issue much knows that loggers often destroy healthy trees under the guise of  "cutting for health".
  
  And if you're worried about protecting wildlife and having healthy trees how is this consistent with intensive logging? Why not just leave the forestlands alone long enough for them to become actual living forests? 
  
  The only cutting should be done as part of a rewilding program aimed at converting mature tree plantations into living forests.
