Our operations are in keeping with forestry sector regulations

Sep 03, 2014 Letters

Dear Editor,
BaiShanLin International Forest Development Inc. has issued several responses regarding concerns that have been recently raised in the media about the company’s operations.
On August 13, a detailed press release was sent out by the company outlining its operations and the various activities that have been undertaken since the company came to Guyana in2007. This statement was carried by at least three of the four daily newspapers and several online and television news services. Since that time, the company has responded on multiple occasions with additional press releases, full page advertisements and television commercials. As recent as August 31, the company dispatched an update to the media on its collaborative work with Region Ten loggers on road repairs in Kwakwani. The Company’s Chairman, Chu Wenze, in that letter also reiterated BaiShanLin’s commitment to logging communities and to Guyana.
It is also noteworthy that the media outlet that has led the reports questioning the company’s operations has neglected to carry many of our press statements such as the one issued on August 31, outlining the ongoing roadwork in Kwawani of which BaiShanLin is playing an integral role. The company has therefore found it even more necessary to highlight such information by way of paid full page advertisements and television commercials.
BaiShanLin recognizes it has a responsibility to the Guyanese people at large, and believes it has an even greater responsibility to those who live in the communities in which it operates. As such, BaiShanLin, at the highest level of management has been meeting with members of the various Region Ten Logging Associations and the newly constituted Linden Kwakwani Road Users Association over the last several weeks. These meetings have been extremely productive and have helped to craft new ways in which the company can further assist in community development.
BaiShanLin would like to restate that all of its operations are in keeping with the regulations of the forestry sector and laws of Guyana and the company looks forward to making further investments in the country that would help to create even more jobs and contribute to the Guyanese economy.
Chu Wenze,
Chairman,
BaiShanLin International Forest Development Inc.
