It may be that the first tie aq land is cleared i is used as you say but these uses aside form biofuel feed cultivation are less frequent uses of the wood, whereas fuelwood cooking is an ongoing depletion. But what do you mean by biofuel feedstock cultivation via a vis deforestation? <div><br></div><div>Kind regards,</div><div> Richard Stanley</div><div><a href="http://www.legacyfound.org">www.legacyfound.org</a></div><div><br><div><div>On Jan 14, 2014, at 4:20 AM, Nguelo C wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div><div style="color:#000; background-color:#fff; font-family:HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;font-size:12pt">Yeah you are right!
