Minnesota Deforestation Struggles; Southern Forests Remove Less CO2; Images of Deforested Planet
Minnesota struggles to slow deforestation, protect water. The forests of central Minnesota – a region that has the state’s highest deer densities and that protects a largely pristine but vulnerable aquifer – are being cleared at an accelerating pace, and regulators are scrambling to find a way to protect them.
