    The Amazon is a planted forest, it is looking more and more like it will need aggressive planting to keep it healthy. We should support the indigenous Amazonian in this work for all our sake.

      There’s lots of evidence of domestication, cultivation, tending over the last 13,000+ years. But calling it a “planted forest” - like as if the majority of plants out in the Amazon were seeded/planted manually by humans - seems like a huge stretch.
