Forest are going to win back and will expand. Populations will peak and will retreat and forest will crawl back and strat regaining the land. It took us 200 years of heavy logging to push the forest back. In 200 hundred years the forest will grab the land once again. We will have so much land without use that land is not suitable to grow sugar cane. Travel to Sweden (I travelled towards Norway) and see a country where the population stop growing. Urbanized. The forests are getting the land back. Government has to promote and subsidize populations to be still in remote areas. This is going to happen more and more. Have you ever seen a land left by itself? Trees just grow back. See an abandoned bridge or road. The small cracks there are, and see the plant growing by themselves. Leave them for 10 or 20 years and you wont see the cement or the asphalt. Imagine a rain forest left by its own. Look how nature recovered around Mt. St. Helens. scientists are suprised how nature got back in its feet. Now we are talking about a 4.5 billion old planet. If it is here after all that, will surely will be here in the next 4.5 billion. If I would be the Brazilian government I would do a National Park in reverse. Raze down a few hectares real good. Close it down and tell the universities to check it out how it develops. I bet there would be a jungle there in 20 years.
