Whenever I see Easter Island stuff I think about total deforestation. England really did a number on Ireland... and I'm sure the age of Imperialism did a lot of damage all over the world... and China is prepared to do that now.. they have many natural resource gathering projects all over the world.Interesting link:
“The story of the destruction of Ireland's forests is not a happy one. No other country in Europe experienced such a wholesale ravaging of its native woodland.
The destruction of Irish forests was largely down to human activity over the centuries. Industrialization, agriculture and an expanding population that required food and shelter all played a part.”
It’s where the English Navy got the wood to build their ships.
