The Lorax is losing his constituency
A new report says the worlds' forests are further gone and disappearing faster than previously thought.
"As we examined what we thought were still vast, untouched stretches of intact forests in the world, we came to the conclusion that they are fast becoming a myth," WRI president Jonathan Lash said.
We've mapped about half the world's forests in detail and we're finding that the closer we look, the less intact old growth and primary forest we're finding," said Mr Bryant.
Meanwhile, the Wood Flooring Manufacturing Association is placing Truax in classrooms.

His eyes shot some darts. His nose whirred a whistle.
"But nature is patient and willing to wait.
I want old trees NOW.
The wait's what I hate!"
