I was doing some research because I have a theory that deforestation can cause drastic/monsoon type weather patterns in areas. I found several articles on the subject and here's a related one that is both interesting and significant. It turns out that destroying forests can alter the weather across regions and even globally. Our society should take this into consideration when making decisions about our future such as immigration, development, logging, mining, etc.

The lives and accomplishments of former ranch managers Charles Gay, George Munro, and Ernest Vredenberg, and the changes each brought about in the lives of ranch workers and residents are also recalled. Interviewees remember when Munro, who took over in 1911, sent cowboys to plant hundreds of Norfolk Island pine trees to improve the ground-water supply. The trees are now Lana‘i landmarks.
