I can't access the link, but I gotta say biodiversity isn't the be-all end-all in conservation. You have to consider species composition too. There are many species that require old-growth forest or forest interiors away from edge habitat that suffer from logging, even if overall biodiversity increases. Often those species are already imperiled due to the modern scarcity of undisturbed forest.

Good point about spcies composition. Different ecosystems support different set of species. We cannot say for sure that one composition is superior to another.
