Summary

Description
English: Europe from the International Space Station, Expedition 57.

When looking at deforestation in the Amazon, I can't help noticing that central Europe was also once densely covered by forest.

Wenn ich die Rodungen im Amazonaswald sehe, so fällt mir ebenfalls auf, dass auch Mitteleuropa einst von dichten Wäldern bedeckt war.
