Forests are what’s actually worth prtotecting. This is not different from a field of corn. There is no ecological value to a farm of pine trees. If you ever walked in one, you would know that.
Trees are trees, but trees aren’t forests. And a trees don’t have nearly the ecological impact of forests. In fact, in the U.S. and around the world we have the problem of way too many trees, which is causing apocalyptic ecological damage, because they’re the wrong kind.
Cutting down all those trees in a tree farm isn’t hurting the environment very much for the same reason that randomly planting a bunch of trees for a tree farm doesn’t help the environment, which is why conservation is so important.
The ‘forest’ cut down there is just a wood farm. There’s no ecosystem lost, since these farm are basically sterile
Wow. All star naturalist here.
As @Encrypt-Keeper put it so well:

Trees are trees, they still have a huge impact on the environment.
