Glimpsed Through The Foliage

This bronze statue is not part of the permanent collection of the Royal Botanic Gardens.  It is part of a touring exhibition displayed  in The Princess of Wales Greenhouse during the summer of 1998.  It reminded me that deforestation is not just an issue about the survival of plants and wild life.  It is also a matter of civil liberties.  What right do I, or any other person, have to dictate how the peoples who come from these forests should live?
