Just like with sound forestry - where it is very difficult to define what is good forestry, but the bad examples are easy to see...
Community-based is also difficult to define, but the bad examples are
obvious to about any conscious person.
Selling good wood in a big discount store is not community-based or sound forestry. The forest owner receives the minimum possible payment, loggers are pressured to get the wood out of the forest as fast as possible, the big industry processes the wood, and it is trucked a couple of times around the country before hitting the shelves.
