Very painful indeed! I have witnessed so much destruction of our forests, all for money! Can they not see the richness of an intact forest ecosystem! Greed can be a powerful force!
I am always grateful that I have been able to live a good part of my life peacefully in the Boreal forest which has played a big part in sustaining me.
I can so relate. I grew up in coastal California, and we have less than 5% left of the original redwood forests, which were vast.
That's nothing short of criminal.
I pray that Canada can get it together, along with Bolivia and Russia, as the three nations with the largest and most pristine remaining forests.
Obviously I pray that my own country gets a frigging clue as well, but as long as we are ruled by a crime family and an equally criminal Congress, our environment and people will continue to take a back seat.

So sad to hear you only have 5% left of those beautiful redwood forests. I use to visit them when I was a child for we had cousins living in California and every few years we would go down and visit. My folks had old photos too of the Redwoods when my mom was taking schooling down there before us kids were born.
Once you lose something like that you can't get it back or at least not for generations and generations. I do hope we can keep our forest pristine for the generations to come.
