Summary:

"Dedicated to the Gertrudy Duby Blom Biosphere Reserve, hand-planted over the last 40 years by Francesco Pollizzi on the edge of the San Cristóbal de las Casas and now being destroyed. Chainsaws snarl from dawn to dusk, reducing the sanctuary to kindling, planks, and charcoal"--Page [1]

"Woodlanders' Directory: made by recycling the Woodlanders' Almanac from the last millennium. We have no idea how many forests were saved from the axe on account of our recuperated paper from the inside pages of this thing. The cover came out ofbrewed burocratiic forms from the Deforestation Office, kneaded with old cardboard boxes (the ones they chip chaninsaws in), latex sap, smoked chicle gum, copal incense, turpentine, with maple syrup"--Colophon
