Thankful for these resources

Awesome sauce. You rock, Uruguay!

Trees are good but Watt about Hemp for pulp it produces 4 times more pulp per acre than trees per acre which take 20 years to grow and Hemp ENRICHES THE SOIL AND NO PESTICIDES TO GROW ! And in some areas you can get 2 harvest a year !

We hit peak land and deforestation around 1900 and now almost all wood products come from places like this. Fantastic

The documentary is so interesting!

now do the same for brazil and look, how much forrest was lost

Seems this wasn't about saving the environment, but about industry and production. But hey, if everyone wants to think they are eco saviors, go right ahead.

Not as good as trying to recreate old-growth forest but better than farming annual crops or pasture everywhere.

Nowhere in this short was "saving the environment" mentioned. Plus we can't live off good intentions. Sustainability isn't about keeping the world in a wild, untouched state. It's about reaching an equilibrium between human needs and the conservation of the ecosystem.

They're planting and maintaining forests. Does it matter what the purpose is? Way better than "going green" where green means switching to electronics that are made of rare metals mined in horrible processes, manufactured in factories powered by coal, and then shipped in diesel powered ships. Paper and whatever else they use the wood for at least offsets some of the carbon costs involved in making and shipping it, and, like in Uruguay, it creates an excuse to plant and maintain forests. In fact, since the goal of capitalism is growth, they need to plant more trees than they cut in order to grow the paper industry and meet future demand, so basically if we use more paper, we create incentive to grow more forests. The whole digital movement has just been to sell more electronics, it's not actually environmentally friendly, at least at the moment. Maybe one day when we can completely recycle electronics and are powered entirely by renewables, but even then, the fact that paper grows forests remains.

I can assure you this is better for the environment than deforestation

Why are people saying it's bad for ecosystems? It's the same as a field of corn. All farms are worse for ecosystems, but they're great for human systems.

I’ve never been able to understand this obsession with getting pulp from trees. Hemp is much quicker to grow & it’s also easier to mention it takes less chemicals & processing to get pulp from hemp. Also the yield per acre is higher with hemp.

I used to be a logger, I don’t know about Europe but in America pulp wood is a byproduct of timber harvesting. The idea of not wasting paper to save trees is an absolute myth. Before we would load out pulp wood we would have to call the mill that day and see if what they were paying even covered the trucking to get it there. It’s usually just all the different pieces of wood that are either too small or otherwise wrong sort to make lumber with.

Uruguay literally makes up for the rainforest lol

Pulp non-fiction.

They would make so much more stock if they planted hemp instead

As long as they have the excess water for something like this, it's all good, a very good choice.

Myyy bad I was thinking of the Uyghurs. "The Uyghurs are a Turkic ethnic group native to Xinjiang,"

Great to see that a country is taking up forestry! In some western country’s it’s becoming so hard to harvest plantations and it’s killing the economy as well as being more destructive long term as other non renewable products may be used instead

Wow, Uruguay is so underrated...

I work in Western Australia in the timber industry, the only place on earth that Jarrah grows. Makes me so angry that none of our governments since the 70s bothered to to protect the industry like this, now even ceasing logging won't save the forests due to global warming and overlogging. Fml

Similar story is going on with the rest of Latin America. Destroy the ecosystem to stay relevant as a country.

Bravo. Sustainable and good for the economy.

Salute to the beautiful people of Uruguay❤️🙏

Whole area probably smells like pure creosote from timber processing too.

Great. Is is this going to complain about planting trees? We complain about cutting trees. Now we're going to complain about planting trees? By this logic, we can't do anything. Maybe stop complaining and support people living with nature, trying to develop economies that don't destroy but work with nature. If the execution is flawed or there is corruption, let's fix those. But don't demonize economic activities that involves agriculture just for it's sake.

As a person who has lived in Uruguay I can confirm this are all over the country

Funfact: Germany planted alot of these after the war becouse it boosted the econemy massivly. As a result all of those trees are dying now couse mono cultures are very suseptbale to desises and bugs.

Hemp is far better though

And they also developed their paper industry, which is very polluting.

Being totally honest, they only did it to have enough wood for barbecuing.

Great Job!!❤

Unfortunately, this type of forest does not accommodate life, and depending on the tree, the water tables are drained and the water is thrown into the atmosphere. In Brazil this is a big problem. Many native trees are exchanged for "useful trees", and the ecosystem becomes unbalanced. Fortunately, new legislation has been approved and they aim to find a middle ground between ecology and economic development.
