Deforestation should not be used for political purposes and there are mechanisms for controlling such actions. Prohibiting logging would go too far. In Kenya, the courts ordered the government to protect the Ogeik. The decision to deforest the Mau forest was clearly illegal. Further, the World Bank’s new program will "crowd out" such unsustainable or illegal practices. Logging companies and governments that need World Bank loans to finance their forestry operations must comply with its rules regarding "sustainable harvesting".
