There is a great deal of illegal logging going on in Siberia too. Much of it Mafia-driven.

A bit surprised to see so much green in South America.

Slovenia's data was taken from your garden.

I'm from Canada. I don't know what that red is about, but we're sorry.

We'll have a look at that. We had some bad flooding in central Canada over the last two years. Maybe that is why...

:yeah: Thanks you for your apology, for a moment there I thought there were too many lumberjacks . . .

Leaping from tree to tree as they float down the rivers of British Columbia,
The giant redwood, the larch, the fir, the mighty scots pine,
The smell of fresh cut timber,
The crash of mighty trees,
With my best girlie by my side,
We'd sing, sing, sing . . .

I'm a lumberjack and I'm OK,
I sleep all night and I work all day

Some of that could be simply due to forest fires which are nature's way of cleaning up. That and probably gold mining which is tearing the land the heck up.

True and also farming depending on the country.
