A call for dialogue, sensibility and innovation in the conservation vs. forestry debate

The Sustainability Research Unit at Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University’s George Campus at Saasveld recently facilitated a dialogue amongst a group of Masters and PhD students in Forestry and in Nature Conservation, respectively, during one of our fortnightly journal club discussions. Our topic was the debate around the desirability or otherwise of pine plantations in the Western Cape and we read the Van Wilgen et al (2012) paper entitled Three centuries of managing introduced conifers in South Africa: Benefits, impacts, changing perceptions and conflict resolution, as well as Dr Ben du Toit’s response and Dr Van Wilgen’s replique on the Sun.ac.za blog site.  We thought it appropriate to share our reflections with readers.

The pool on the 2nd Avenue campus was part of the gym. The gym has been converted into offices and the archives of the university. The pool is unfortunately no longer operational.
