The reason for the increase is that the light-colored moths are no longer "selected against" by predators. These birds could only see the light ones against a sooted background. After removing the dark soot, these predators could no longer distinguish the light ones from their natural light background. Thus more light-colored moths survived to reproduce, passing on more of their recessive genes for light color to their offspring. After several hundreds of generations, most of the later generations were light, due to selective advantage of camouflage to survive predation.

The logging company should go by the rule governing the forest and seek for government permission before cutting down any tree. There are due processes that allows you cut some forest timbers after establishing a new one but this is done with the consent of the government and the agreement that is made between the company and the government. An agreement will be reached on how the cutting can be done to avoid total loss of our forest and areas that can be used.
