About this eBook

Author Kajander, Kalle, 1862-1928
Title Metsät ja yhtiöt
Credits Produced by Tapio Riikonen
Summary "Metsät ja yhtiöt" by Kalle Kajander is an insightful treatise on forestry and economic practices, written in the early 20th century. The work explores the detrimental effects of corporate practices on Finnish forests and rural lands, highlighting issues such as deforestation, land grabs by timber companies, and the broader implications for society and agriculture. The opening of the text introduces the author's reflections following a journey through Finland's interior where he witnesses the harsh realities of forest exploitation and the subsequent impacts on local communities and landowners. Kajander starkly contrasts romanticized notions of nature with the unsettling truth of ecological devastation. He establishes the theme of an ongoing "war" against nature, led by powerful timber companies, and hints at the social consequences as rural populations lose their connection to and control over their land. This dichotomy sets the stage for an exploration of the intricate relationship between natural resources and economic exploitation, culminating in a call for greater awareness and responsibility regarding forest stewardship.
