Old-growth forests are irreplace-able in our lifetimes, or indeed our great-granchildren's lifetimes if one considers 1000-year-plus old redwoods and sequoias; wetlands, as water-purifying, erosion-resisting, 'bird-manufactories' are economically valuable (if not as much $-wise as ocean-front housing) without any effort by man. We better pray that no Galactic Society actually exists, because they'd "adopt" our patron-less behinds in a nano-second. Or just eliminate us.
