2 big problems with that statement. 1st, it's being harvested at a much greater rate than it's being replenished. Second, old trees and old forests are far more valuable to the ecosystem than the cookie cutter "forests" planted after harvests.

Europeans forest are growing back, so your first statement isn't true:

Then, younger forest have less valuable ecosystem but are better at absorbing CO2, which is the biggest priority.

Glad to hear it's going well in Western Europe, but that's far from the norm.

My point is trees are much more than wood.
