What is Protecting Old-Growth Forests about?

Old-growth forests are home to many endangered species and play an important role in combating climate change by absorbing carbon dioxide. However, 90% of old-growth forests in the US have been destroyed, especially in the Pacific Northwest where logging companies demand the wood. While replanting occurs, it takes hundreds of years for forests to develop old-growth characteristics again. Protecting remaining old-growth forests is crucial to preserving biodiversity and the environment.
