    "content": "With regard to your question, I started off by agreeing that we have a challenge with the illegal activities and wanton destruction of our ecosystems. However, please take note that there is no correlation whatsoever between the lift of the ban on logging and the illegal activities that are ongoing within our forests. This is because the lift on the ban on logging applies only to gazetted commercial plantations. We have a total of 2 million hectares of gazetted forests in this country. The commercial plantations are only 150,000 hectares. So, it is a very small percentage of about six per cent of the total gazetted forest."
