About three-quarters of the world's original forests have been cut, mostly over the course of the past century, according to forest activists Jensen and Draffan. They describe how multinational companies legally and illegally loot forests around the world, posing major dangers to the global environment and to the people and animals that rely on the forests for their lives. Increasing globalization and wood product consumption have only increased the problem in recent years, they say. Instead, what is needed is to hand back the forests to their indigenous inhabitants.
