Once upon a a time

Can you imagine the day when we tell our grand kids stories about the forest we once had. How can you describe to someone the scent of the rain forest or the feel of dampness on your skin..... nahhhh. Don't think you can unless you were in one. Will new generations have done things different?
All I know is that every little thing I do helps slow down the process of destruction, don't think I can do it on my own, but I will give it a try.
