In this particular picture, there are students from five different countries: USA, Canada, South Africa, Tajikistan, Argentina - and Puerto Rico, if you want to count that one, too. My program, Natural Resources and Peace, is probably the least diverse program of the school. It&#39;s unfortunate, but I have all kinds of extra curricular activities with the rest of the student body, which come from 46 different countries.

Nevertheless, really liked your comments on balancing forest ecology with development demand. Tough equation, and it sounds like you were getting some real insight from your class.<BR/><BR/>I do have one question, related to the picture of your post-forest trip classmates, and an earlier post of yours on Sept. 19. On Sept. 19 you wrote "The student diversity at UPeace is something truly amazing and it enriches everyone's experience." But the forestry picture looks to me very much as though the class was 17 white folks aged 22-30. Was that just the Forestry class, or does that demographic primarily comprise the whole UPeace school? If so, did you just mean that there exists a much greater diversity of philosophy and political opinion than I would have expected? Or is the picture misleading to begin with -- maybe more nationalities represented than I think, or something?NJRhttp://www.tiesenga.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8825516930488582601.post-15979713237598355412008-10-22T19:02:52.444-07:002008-10-22T19:02:52.444-07:00I'll proof read anything you write and honestly!!!<BR/><BR/>Love,<BR/>MomMomnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8825516930488582601.post-30820946736889537252008-10-20T14:10:44.628-07:002008-10-20T14:10:44.628-07:00Forest plantations squeeze more trees into a smaller space than natural forests.<BR/><BR/>Natural forests do not meet current demands for forest products.<BR/><BR/>We need to replace all natural forests with planned plantations as rapidly as possible.<BR/><BR/>If that still doesn't meet demand, we obviously must consider multi-story forest plantations.Barrynoreply@blogger.com
