The connection between trees and paper is obvious, but often overlooked. Canada has 342.8 million hectares of forest, 7% of that area is protected, only 24 million hectares (Natural Resources Canada). The other 93% of our forests are left vulnerable to be cutdown and logged for lumber, pulp and paper products. This stump is an altered circle graph of that statistic, with the bark on the outside representing the protected forests, and the inside made of paper ephemera representing the disproportionate amount of forests that are unprotected. The protected forests are the intact ecosystems, the old growth and what will be able to become old growth, and the inside is what is vulnerable or new growth replanted forests.
