Because 100 years ago we had deforested most of the country. And we have lost GENETIC diversity in our trees (just as we have with our crops). We have lots of pulp trees but that is hardly the same as having a mature forest, with hundreds of species per acre. Plantations of pulp trees do not support the biological diversity that a real forest would. We should be careful about kidding ourselves and calling cornfields prairies and pulp tree plantations forests, they are not the same.
