Humans can’t make this - why natural forests are important

[@stitchell2909]

We drive through the rural south often to visit family. It seems like you're in wilderness until you look closer and see that all of the trees are the same size and in rows. Once I realized that, it's literally almost all plantations, so sad.

It's very sad. And most people don't realize those are not natural forests and what they are lacking.

Why are dead and decaying trees important to predator species like wolves and cougars? Watch the full presentation about the importance of primary forests here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jqG5loJ7pMqdotk

Everything has a limit. Humans have tried to pervert the balance but Earth has its own way of cleansing itself. Soon.

Its happening now with the many wildfires happening in older timber areas. We spend time trimming around the community interface areas but leave to larger areas to its own now that logging has been severely constrained. We need a better old-growth and forest management strategy that recognizes the benefits to biodiversity and society.
