RUSSIA'S COLOSSUS OF A FOREST
The paper chain - from felling to selling
Pawel Wladimirow tramps through the forest like a ranger tracking down a poacher. It is a warm spring day to the northwest of St. Petersburg and Pawel is in a hurry. He clambers over fallen tree trunks and twigs, following the deep tracks that a Caterpillar vehicle has dug into the forest soil. A light breeze ripples through the spruce trees and the smell of fresh wood and resin fills the air.
more THE PROTECTORS OF THE SEAL
Prince Charles and Princess Gloria of Thurn and Taxis are both committed to ecological seals for their forests

more THERE WILL ALWAYS BE SKEPTICS
Herbert Kohler, Chief Environmental Officer at Daimler Chrysler, age 49, talks about "green cars" and being in the black
It means we are doing our work. DaimlerChrysler has certified all domestic production sites according to the environmental norm ISO-14001; the foreign sites will follow.

I grew up in very humble circumstances in a poor district of Los Angeles during World War II. Even as a small boy I would retreat into nature - either to the coast, or into the nearby deserts surrounding Los Angeles, or into the mountains. I loved the Midwest, the expanse, the forests, the clouds in the sky. As I grew older, I learnt to climb mountains, to canoe on the rivers and to ride. All these things heightened my respect for nature - this incredible design that existed long before human beings appeared on the scene.
