The study backed by three environmental groups - Wilderness Committee, David Suzuki Foundation, and Ecojustice - used computer modeling to look at a variety of conservation and logging scenarios in a large tract of forest near Vancouver.

Of course they probably couldn't care less about 3 left wing radical environmental groups with a suspect computer model that follows their agenda to a "T", than most other rational thinking people.
