We make logging companies "replant forests" (yes it's not at all the same as the old growth but it's something). Why do we let mining companies completely rape the land and replace nothing? It doesn't even look like they backfill with the unused debris, much less restore topsoil or plant anything.

Most of the forests in Germany aren’t truly old growth tho. Instead it’s basically all wood plantations
