At least north america has some wild places and animals left. In most of europe there is almost nothing left. We destroyed everything.

Its mostly stuff in the west anyhow. Eastern half of the US is a lot like europe where if there was any ground fit to drag a plow it was plowed. States like Iowa are totally plowed. The idea of the federal government sitting on empty land for recreation is a new thing, really started with yellowstone after the US expanded west of the mississippi. Even yellowstone was almost dammed like the hetch hetchy.
Yes, if I were European I'd be prioritizing the hell out of protecting the remaining Old Growth forest in Europe in the south east, even if it means having the EU fund nature preserves / paying those host governments big bucks to have a ton of rangers there to stop logging.
