It's good to focus on a positive aspect for once, however we should still keep in mind that deforestation (being one of the numerous factors) is still advancing at an alarming rate, day by day and while this study focuses on Coastal British Columbia forests as an example, the global rate at which forests are being cut down is alarming. Here's a map showing deforestation advancing up to the year 2006 (source)
