"Perhaps the greatest paradox about understanding "the woods" is that so
many who enjoy it, or seem to enjoy it, spend most of their time trying to kill
parts of it."

This is saying that the people who love the woods are the ones who keep trying to destroy it.

I think Gary Paulsen was saying that people will say they love "the woods" but when in reality they really just enjoy profiting off of the murdered animals
