Seems like a cherry picked statistic when a large part of the rain-forests are in the Southern Hemisphere and are being devastated.
More forests now in the Northern hemisphere than a century ago. Go humans...https://twitter.com/HumanProgress/status/990296595513167872 …

Is that a real standard for how we are doing ecologically. I feel like this is deceptively optimistic measuring stick

Forest area does matter. City folks get a biased view of forested area when they see forests cut down for development since they only see a small slice of the natural world. But you raise exactly the right question. Is cutting trees the env evil we instinctually feel that it is?

Yup. Walk through any forest in New England, and shortly you'll run into a stone wall. Those used to be the borders of fields. Though, there is still a debate to be had over cutting down old forests, even if replaced with new forests because of their very different eco systems.

I’m happy for the stat, but it’ll be a while before these become the old growth forests they once were.

More efficient farming by capitalists allows more trees to grow on more land.

Good to hear. Forests are nature's churches.
