Why is selective tree cutting better then clear cutting?

Question

I need to write a paragraph about why selective tree cutting is better then clear cutting. I was wondering what the advantages and disadvantages were of each, and the different viewpoints from the different groups of people (ie: environmentalists,logging companies)

thanks for the help :)
