The law of demand & supply tells a different story! Penalties & mindset also play different role here. We should use wood maximum and increase demand through 'maximum-use' policy instead of 'no-use' type negative policy. You will see the difference in just five years.
First penalize tree cutting itself. Old trees are a treasure and a forest ecosystem unto themselves. Reduce vehicles on the street and create mini city forests. There are many things that can be done but there has to be a will.
