Abstract
To introduce my topic in a way consistent with the theme of the conference, I would like to quote a passage from the book My Life, My Trees by Richard St. Barbe Baker, standard-bearer of the American conservationists, founder of the Civil Conservation Corps, founder of Men of the Trees, and supervisor of the reforestation of more than 15 000 000 hectares.
