Domestic wood instead of tropical wood

Only 30% of the world's forests are primeval forests. Their protection needs absolute priority in climate protection. Every year, 7-13 billion tonnes of CO2 are released through the overexploitation of primeval forests. It would be cheaper for all of us to protect primeval forests through payments than to bear the enormous costs of climate change (Stern Report).
