I can sympathise with what drives Maja's perceptions. But it seems to me unfair to help people before they are given a chance to help themselves.
The forest is itself a resource: it can be commercialised or be used for subsistence livelihood. Why should a third party (FAO, a do-gooder or Maja etc) intervene before the obvious use of the resource to support livelihoods is exhausted as a solution?
