source for "Uprooted (a somniloquy):

"The forests of the world are in bad shape. About three-quarters
of the world's original forests have been cut, most of that in the
past century. Much of what remains is in three nations: Russia,
Canada, and Brazil. Ninety-five percent of the original forests of
the United States are gone."
