Hoh Rain Forest

USA / Washington / Forks /
On the slopes and the surrounding areas of Mt. Olympus in the Olympic Peninsula of the Pacific Northwest, one of the last remnants of temperate forests in the United States is quickly disappearing. Between 1971 and 2002, nearly half a million hectares (1.1 million acres), or almost 29 per cent of the forest covering the Peninsula, was clear-cut. That is an area equal in size to the Olympic National Park and its five adjacent wilderness areas.
