Scientific forestry was a colonial tool to control and profit from forests, treating living ecosystems as mere timber factories. Brandis was appointed to streamline this extraction for the British Empire, not for any care for the land. My own life fighting against the monoculture plantations that replaced our diverse woods shows this legacy—they called it 'scientific' management, but we only got sick rivers and lost medicinal plants itself.
