The Forest Question in New Zealand (1879)

The Forest Question in New Zealand is a book written by A. Lecoy in 1879. The book provides a detailed account of the deforestation of New Zealand during the 19th century and the impact it had on the country's environment and economy. Lecoy discusses the causes of deforestation, including the demand for timber and land for farming, and the consequences of this trend, such as soil erosion, flooding, and loss of biodiversity. The book also explores the measures taken by the government to address the issue, including the establishment of forest reserves and the introduction of tree planting programs. Lecoy argues that the preservation of New Zealand's forests is crucial for the country's future prosperity and calls for a more sustainable approach to land use. The Forest Question in New Zealand is a valuable historical document that sheds light on the environmental challenges faced by the country in the past and provides insights into the ongoing debate on conservation and sustainability.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
