'"Forest" is a polite way to refer to what appears to be a monoculture plantation.' That would mean that Europe almost has no Forest according to you and there's nothing worth protecting?

There is, but the amount of primary forests (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old-growth_forest ) is much lower than the amount of plantations
That's my point ;)
Pretty much yes, say Germany and Britain cut down almost all of the forests that were not too steep to farm on centuries ago, which make their cries to other parts of the world to stop deforestation pretty hypocritical.

Or that they know how hard to basically impossible it is to reverse this mistake and want to put money into preventing other countries to make the same errors, now that we are able to afford to not do it.
Because they can't learn out of their own lessons? That's not hypocrisy
I don't see Britain or Germany setting the goal to reforest to even the current Brazilian cover %, therefore the lesson doesn't seem to be learned.
Pretty lame trolling attempt.
