Places like Washington State have had replanting programs in place since well before I was born. In the US we have more trees now than we did 100 years ago, forestry and forest management as a problem was solved 50+ years ago. There's the issue of disappearing rainforest in the amazon, but that's largely due to the fact that growing food is a more valuable use of that land than forest, and has nothing to do with the economic value of the wood on the land.
