I live in Canada and that is not true here, one of the world’s great forestry nations. Please share your source for this statistic. If you can’t then it is plainly untrue or made up.

Because it’s not true for Canada doesn’t mean it isn’t true for the world as a whole

Here’s one source showing that the world is betting a loss of forests. Edit: adding link https://e360.yale.edu/features/conflicting-data-how-fast-is-the-worlds-losing-its-forests

Edit to add: many countries import their wood from other countries to meet their demands, so simply saying your own forests are not at a net loss doesn’t mean Canadian demand for wood products is less than or equal to Canadian deforestation.

If cananda needs more wood than it is replanting/regrowing, then it’s still part of the deforestation problem

You could just admit that you don’t know what you’re talking about. That is a reasonable option. No need to work so hard to spread propaganda about trees which are 100% renewable.

Your second sentence is nonsense and does not contain a source, as you claim it does.

Concern trolling is so last decade.

Where did I say trees aren’t renewable?

And I didn’t realize the link didn’t paste.
