La foresta pluviale invisibile d’Irlanda

I’ve been left thinking about the point he makes at the end; what really constitutes a natural environment given human interaction is inevitable. It’s hard to accept what we had is gone and it’s incredibly unlikely we’ll get it back. I come away from this video feeling hopeless and unsure what we can even do.

It also laid bare how the British not only robbed Ireland of it’s language and culture, but tore apart the landscapes that created them (99 words for rain and all that). It’s really sad all around.

We destroyed the Irish forests. The notion that it was the Brits (usually using the wood build ships) is bollix. They were mostly gone by then end of the Bronze Age.
