When we talk about deforestation, we reach for carbon numbers. But old-growth forests are not just carbon storage. They are thousands of years of ecological accumulation: soil microbiomes, fungal networks, species interdependencies that took centuries to build.
You cannot replant an old-growth forest. You can only decide not to cut it down.
Restoration and protection are both necessary. Neither substitutes for the other.

@WhidbeyAV8@Kent_Rollins@OUTDChannel I met him a couple times when I was stationed at Altus AFB. Was even more genuine and kind compared to his videos if that’s even possible.
@MeekFrances@aspiringpeasant If they aren’t identified as law enforcement there’s precedent to resist until a positive identification occurs. You may die in a firefight doing this, or maybe be killed in a maximum security gulag on foreign soil. A man who wasn’t proven to be in a gang has no proof of life
