If you idolize trees, if you make them into untouchable beings with rights to exist unmolested by man, if you do your praying in a forest and can't tolerate man felling one of the ancient Giants, then you wouldn't have these - and that would be a tragedy.
Man walks with nature, led by the hand of God.
