Oh man, sorry I didn't respond sooner. Your comment just barely showed up for some reason. .. you're right, the vast majority use and abuse our natural resources... I do not know what the impacts of such a gmo tree will do to its natural competitors. Hopefully they will not be lost! Although, I have mixed feelings about GMO's. I actually wrote a paper on it a long while back. In some cases GMO's can be horrible for wildlife,but there are many instances where they have neutral effects and some cases where they are actually beneficial to wildlife species.
