> it's not even known how much was destroyed by winds or fire and how much is reforested

I know that's an important design flaw: it can't differentiate between man-made deforestation and natural forest change. I'd like for this bot to not exist until there is a way to reliably measure the former.

But if I waited for that to happen probably I'd never have the chance to understand myself and make others see the problem being discussed here.

Moreover, reforestation is not taken in consideration because there is no evidence that reforestation undoes the damage causes by deforestation. Yes, the tree-covered area is there again, but is the biomass, diversity and ecosystems that the disappeared trees fostered there again? That's the real issue here. Let alone the fact that in most reforestation it takes decades on average for the trees to simply grow.

Wood is a renewable resource as long as the rhythm at which we exploit it it's sustainable.
