Perhaps if the people of Chiang Mai knew that if they selectively thinned the forest to make wood chips, then used the space created to grow mushrooms they could possibly make more money and not have to resort to the burning. This is an opportunity for a Thai business person with exporting connections to and nough money to buy chain saws and chipping equipment.

That's really terrible. What is waiting for us in the future?! That’s just terrible – to burn the forests in order to grow mushrooms. It seems that people are going beyond all the frames of morality.
