Planting tree plantations is permanent deforestation... The extensive planting of just one exotic species removes thousands of native species.” NeedsLooksHandsClearCuttingTreeTelevisionSpeciesCaringForestsMagazinesPermanentJust OneNativeRemoveDeliberateExoticInterferenceShort TimeGodlikeDeforestationPlantationsTree PlantingRaspberriesSeedlings Author:Bernd Heinrich
