Ya but they would have been replaced with other young/growing trees, not racks of 4090s in a concrete box.
The remainder of your comment does make this come through as authentic, this is more likely what you are attempting here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1Fv1uKTd-w
Forest management is something most countries do, see other comments under this story from actual Finnish people who gave specifics about their own country
Forest is much much more than culture in terms of biodiversity.
Removing forest soil has exposed anaerobic soil layers to oxygen. It also causes rainfall to flood into nearby freshwater. The Oulujoki river basin is now facing contamination with acidic runoff and sedimentation.
Uncontrolled hydrological changes may have an irreversible environmental impact. Similar destruction of hydrological environments was huge news in 2024, when a forestry corporation destroyed the habitat of endangered freshwater pearl mussels.
People in Finland don't take irreversible environmental damage lightly.
