This is a point made well in the film Wilding - https://www.wildingmovie.com/ - about a rewilding project in the UK. You need change and open ground for any biodiversity benefits. It's a bit like the close-planted commercial forestry fir plantations that are entirely silent and dead aside from the trees themselves.
This is a great film about the Knepp rewilding project - https://www.wildingmovie.com/ - which this article is about. I found it very inspiring.
There are also a couple of books:

And if anyone lives nearby (Sussex, UK) and wants to get involved in something like this, the Sussex Wildlife Trust are almost always looking for volunteers: https://sussexwildlifetrust.org.uk/get-involved/volunteer Once you get into volunteering for SWT you'll hear about opportunities to volunteer on lots of other projects like Weald to Waves - https://www.wealdtowaves.co.uk/ - and Knepp.
