I think its fair to say the Brazilian authorities are making some really good progress into reducing their rate of deforestation much to their credit....the fact that the rate of natural forest depletion has hit all time lows is a tribute to the efforts that have been made. Brazil has actually lowered deforestation rates by nearly 65 percent since 2005. Indeede, Brazil really is now recognised as one of the most progressive countries in the world in making commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions within the United Nations climate negotiations. Brazil has stated that it would cut deforestation to 20% of its historic level by 2020. I'd be very interested to hear your thoughts on Brazils efforts with regard to energy efficiency of wood and charcoal. I believe the timber harvested from the eucalyptus plantations by Greenwood Management is transported directly to their own kilns in situ, where the harvest is processed into charcoal ( is this process called pyrolysis?). Anyhow thanks again. Best wishes John Barnes Hi Kim,

I wonder how the Brazilian authorities plan to deal with this issue considering they're trying to protect native forests on one hand, yet not doing much about energy efficiency of wood and charcoal.
