Its astonishing when you think about it. An entire continent (safe for Russia and scandinavia) has been completely stripped of its nature
>>
>>2862702
so have most eurofags never been innawoods?
>>
>>2862702
I don't understand that map. In Germany and France there are a lot of forests still.
>>
>>2862721
we'd call those parks.
>>
>>2862702
>nature/wilderness
Not the same thing. Europe has plenty of nature, it's just all human-influenced in some way. There are great efforts to preserve at least fragments of natural biomes and prevent species from being extinguished.
>>
>>2862702
your map is completely bullshit and you're just dumb if you really believe what you said
>>
>>2862721
this is not a tree cover map it's a wilderness map
>>
i am still mad for the brits extincting their wild horses
>>
>>2862721
These forests are managed like gardens not like wilderness
>>
>>2862809
And what is the difference?
>>
The only way to still die in the wild in central/western Europe is in the Alps.
>>
>>2862833
Wilderness is by definition not managed, except that which is needed to limit human impact of use. Most of europes forests are replantings for specific purposes like timber and are managed for those purposes.

>And what is the difference?
The crippled nature of the European mind in a nutshell.

Oh cool, it just means there‘s wildlife oversight infrastructure. Explains why my time in German forests (where nature preserves are over a quarter of the country‘s land) felt as isolated as those in national forests at home in the US.
>>
>>2862780
There are more bears in California than all of Europe.
Europe was deforested, sterilized and artificially replanted. Its a giant golf course.
>>
>>2862702
so what? wilderness by itself is not important, go to antarctica if you want wilderness. europe is fine
>>
>>2862702
it does. you just look at maps and think they tell the whole story.
>>
>>2863290
European "wilderness" is shit.
Its about as wild as a corn field.
You just dont know any better because its all you've seen.
>>
lol urbanites.
>>
>>2862711
Its why there is mass tourism to Lofoten and Tromsø, which is desolate untouched land.
>>
>>2863128
Oh, fuck off.
Germans have absolutely no clue about isolation and wilderness. That’s why it’s a meme for Germans to die in America while hiking. Germans are one of the most pampered know it all peoples.
I‘m both German and American, btw.
>>
>>2862721
Damn Eurofags have never seen an old growth forest they dont even know what they are missing thats so sad
>>
>>2862721
they all have a grid map and an army of forestry landlords who drive their john deers through the mud to move 3 rotting trees
>>

everyone should watch this (well, provided you speak the language)
>>

America has almost none of their old growth forests left too. After visiting genuine old growth, it drives me insane knowing that that used to be the norm everywhere in my part of the state. Even now there's fragments of old growth that are coveted by logging companies. Logging is a disease.
>>
>>2862711
They/I have never been in a primal forest.

I viewed many pictures of Białowieża primal forest in Poland/Belarus, I understand there are decaying logs, old trees, more biodiversity and a buffalo reserve, but for me it looks like most other forests in the same biome in Europe.
There are pists, human settlments and tourism industry next to it or in the polish reservation.
It's not some wild euro temperate jungle.
>>
Do Europeans have real air?
>>
>>2864515
America still has both a larger percentage and a larger total amount of old growth forest land.
But old growth forest is just one part and a small part at that. The wilderness preserved in america also includes desert and alpine and arctic.
>>
>>2864571
only goy fumes
>>
>>2862711
Correct, but because they don't have an /out/ culture. Bongs don't travel anywhere to go /out/, which is really weird considering their history.

Corsicas nice, live there and can do nature every day, tho continuum is kind of a mid metric imo, afaik a simple foot path ruins it even tho it doesn’t affect or endanger flora or fauna

also it’s not rlly isolated cause dickhead tourists keep making the trails lose all sense of immersion so I mostly hike in the off season when there’s a bit of snow
However some valleys are a lot more lonely than others, find the right one and u can have some great isolation and forage provided nobody makes a tourism campaign for it
>>
>>2862711
You can go innawoods in replanted forests. Some have even been replanted to have a natural variety just for recreation. There is just less wilderness by the american definition; land that retains its primeval character and is untrammeled by man.
