Should the UK bring back it's rainforests?

[purplepoppy]

Most people know about the deforestation of tropical rainforests but many don't realise much of the UK was once covered in a temperate rainforest. Over thousands of year's most of it has been cleared for farming with only fragments remaining.
Some people would like to see rainforests return and I'm one of them. Much of the rainforest area is sparsely populated with a lot of unused land or of low productivity. Rainforest would not only increase wildlife but bring in more tourists, campers, and even hunters, all which would benefit the economy.
I'm not saying blanket the lot, but I would like to see a lot more woodland.

But what's your thoughts? Here's a nice map of rainforest area in UK https://map.lostrainforestsofbritain.org/

That's a great idea. It would not only help the economy, it would help with climate change. The additional plants would remove more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, which would help stabilize the increase in temperature.

You always have great ideas and should consider becoming an MP for Wales, and maybe the future PM of Parliament.

If everyone planted a tree in their garden we could collectively do our bit to help. Trees are beautiful things, they definitely add to the character and the appearance of a property.

It wouldn't be a good idea to re-forest viable agricultural fields, but certainly in areas that aren't agriculturally viable, it would be a good idea to help restore what was previously destroyed.

[England4eva]

Yes. Also the trees soak up all the excess water during the wet months. Preventing flooding and loss of life. You see so often every year somewhere there is a flood on tv? Trees in abundance would solve this and save lives. Plant a tree everyone x

Thanks for mho. I do my bit to plants trees and shrubs in my garden. I buy house plants as gifts for people for birthdays, to help the environment as they produce oxygen and soak up carbon dioxide. Aloe Vera is especially good at this!

We had rainforest? 😂

[purplepoppy]

We've still got the rain 😢

[leighbee]

Lol I knew we had forest's. Oh wait lol

[DryGermanGuy]

Every renaturation / reforestation helps a country and its inhabitants, that’s for sure. They probably don’t have to aim for actual rainforests, though. 😂

Ahh, the British. Those scantily dressed subhumans, just begging to be exploited.

[MCheetah]

Well, UK weather can't get any worse than it is now, so why not?

As much I was moved by "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening by Robert Frost". I must say, let the Birnam Wood comes to Dunsinane.

First order of Business is bring back a Prime Minister that can hold down the government

[AngryCarl]

Good idea. It's not like we need Cornwall or Cumbria.

[Pudsmucker]

I always assume that UK was quite forested I was not aware of the rainforest. Rainforests do help the climate

[Surely]

Unfortunately. Some rain forests can’t be restored after man destroys them!

At least not in human’s lifetime.

[Jamie05rhs]

Interesting. But then where would you graze your sheep?

[Likes2drive]

I’m sure it would be good for the climate too since it brings in more oxygen from the trees

[jamesgoldman]

Yeah but leave Islay be

[Wise4myage]

Personally, Id love to see that happen.

[Zolly99999]

I think it would be a great idea..

[jimmy2]

Yes they should

[La_isla_bonita23]

It would be nice
