    And when there is a will it tends to turn into something like the Earth Liberation Front. I can highly recommend the documentary "If A Tree Falls" on that subject - it also discusses the complex role of the national forestry agencies in regards to managing forests.

    I believe the title of the documentary in question is If a Tree Falls: A Story of the Earth Liberation Front.
