Property rights + forests = more forests?!

Want to protect forests?
Enforce property rights. So says the Economist.

If you want to protect forests, you need rules and you need enforcement, like US national parks or nature reserves. The idea is forests shouldn't be free

Imagine that! The Economist thinking property rights and/or trade is the solution to something!
