I propose to merge Wood economy into Wood industry. I think that the content in the Wood economy article can easily be explained in the context of Wood industry, and the Wood industry article is of a reasonable size that the merging of Wood economy will not cause any problems as far as article size is concerned.

Rapa Nui

The whole section about Rapa Nui at the end of the page has proven to be a wrong interpretation of archaeological and historical facts, sometimes the facts themselves being proven false. I really would do some research and give some sources of information but I just came here in the middle of writing my thesis so I hope you'll uderstand I have other things to do. The knowledge of the history of Easter island I have comes from a talk at my university by an expert on the subject. It basically states taht there was no huge ecological crisis and no civil war whatsoever but rather a smooth change from one form of belief and lifestyle to another as the Island changed. Most fo what the thought we knew comes from the people of Easter island that don't really know anything about their past as sickness and slavery decimated the population (esopecially the older people that knew the history of their kind). So anything they said to the first explorers who took interst in their culture was a delusional reconstitution they made with whatever they had left of their culture. I mean it's a pretty sad story but it's not one of civil war between malnourished people. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 164.15.85.62 (talk) 13:38, 31 July 2017 (UTC)

Removing section as seems to be contradicted by modern research such as https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/brv.12556 Chidgk1 (talk) 17:17, 8 February 2021 (UTC)

Cites for Italy section

I moved these out of "bibliography" and "external links". If you speak Italian it would be great if you could use them to cite the Italy section.

Land appropriation and other issues

I added a globalize template. This article would need substantial work to bring it into NPOV. It would need to discuss a lot of environmental conflicts caused by the timber industry and the industry's contribtions to deforestation and theft of land from Indigenous people. (An example would be the Grassy Narrows road blockade that I just added. There are many many more of these conflicts.) The only mention of deforestation is in reference to illegal logging, as if legal logging by multinationals doesn't actually remove trees?! This article actually states that the wood economy fights greenhouse effect. I'm sorry, but cutting down all the trees doesn't fight the greenhouse effect. This article reads like something written by Weyerhauser.

Additional examples of conflicts with existing articles:

• Indigenous rainforest blockades in Borneo
• Fairy Creek old-growth logging protests
• Prey Lang Wildlife Sanctuary
• Chipko movement
