State owned?? In the hands of the government, who were planning to sell off their forests...the 'state' is probably less a reliable pair of hands unless protection provided in law (and then you need someone to monitor the state) and, as for agendas...do you think in terms of a benevolent state, motivated to do the best for the people and the country.
