For ppl who aren't aware:
Old temperate forests are insanely rare nowadays and extremely important ecosystems lost forever once cut.
They're not just "old trees" but intricate networks of trees, fungi and all kinds of living creatures.
You CANNOT replant this!! Once it's gone it's lost FOREVER!!!

Bolivia created four protected areas spanning 907,000+ hectares, strengthening wildlife corridors across the Amazon and Andes while supporting forest-based livelihoods.

The government’s new Planning Bill is nothing short of a death sentence for badgers.

Frustrated Home Depot employee shares photo of countless carts full of gardening products wasted for no good reason: 'Not our call' "I just think what could have happened if we donated it..."

In addition, all the big box stores start stocking plants even in areas that are still freezing at night. I usually go in before a freeze to rescue some of the doomed flowers and vegetables.
