Those vast empty areas are empty for a reason OGF, The main one
being the land is not arable or is desertified, ( is there such a word?)
Or consists of mountainous territory with the problems that brings!
So allthough on a map the world looks empty it in fact it is not
habitable on any large scale, especially by humans?
This is mainly why imo, the forests are being decimated to create
more farming land and search for minerals etc?
You can see the way humans modify their landscape if you look at
your yorkshire dales and moors, where allthough it is very pretty
and even beautiful , it used to be much different before farmers
got busy and cleared most of the forests for pastures and created
the neat and clean looking landscapes we see now!
The forests must have been there once or you would not have had
such a successful coal mining industry in the area?
