Joint move to refute Plywood dumping claim... or why are we "throwing away our forests"??

Reading this piece of news Joint move to refute Plywood dumping claim bring to my mind some questions, the main one being, are we really practicing 'sustainable' forest harvesting, or are we actually throwing away our precious asset in search of short time "growth and profits"? Answers to the 'bullets' below would help to clear the air:

• It was stated that a petition was received from the Korean Wood Panel Association, which alleged that nine Malaysian plywood suppliers (eight in Sarawak and one in Peninsular Malaysia) had been selling their products at about 88% below the local market price. While there is no smoke without some plywood burning, so to speak, it would be relevant for us to wonder why it is so hugely important for us to export such huge volumes of processed wood to those countries who are so hungry for them.
  
• Are we doing so for short term profits without consideration that Malaysia too has only limited forest reserves. If the allegation is true, why do we have to sell such prized products at such low prices?
  
• Are we turning a blind eye to forest conservation, just to keep the bottom line and the share holders happy?
  
• If Oil cartels can limit oil supply to combat falling prices, why don't we limit our forest extraction to patently sustainable levels, and also give a time-line when the country will totally wean itself off from "harvesting" our Reserves, and only depend on Replanted trees.?
  

At the moment, and from the Press report, it would seem to me that the Timber business is just practicing the policy of "everyman for himself"

May God save our trees!! :-(
