I have now thought about it for a long time and written a long text in response.
After two days, however, I would just like to say:
We have a different view of what a primeval forest is. In my world, natural forests are untouched with all the flora and fauna, and they no longer exist.
There are many statistics. The page I got from you is very difficult to read. Was it Mrs Klöckner's intention at the time? The lady who was responsible for this page is very well known to me😊).
According to your website, the proportion of accessible forest increased in 2012, but the proportion of non-accessible forest decreased.
More commercial forest, less virgin forest.
Everyone can figure out for themselves exactly what a commercial forest is.
Overall, we have lost 6.6% of forest area since 2012. Here is a simple statistic.

Please remain friendly and don't accuse your counterpart of lying without knowing what he thinks. That is not really a basis for discussion.

OK, you are not lying. You wrote: "natural forests are untouched with all the flora and fauna, and they no longer exist". But here is one in the heart of Europe, also protected: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peru%C4%87ica
France have them many, Italy, Bulgaria, United Kingdom as well. Why saying that "they no longer exist"?
This is from your postet Webpage.
It is 6 kilometer long and 1-3 km wide. So, it is quit enough for my running practice. I could run around in 2 hours by foot. With my bicycle, it would be a little to small. But thats Ok. The animals don´t need more Space. It is a lot bigger than my flat.
It is as well not in Germany.
I am very happy, that the UNESO saved this small place in Europe.
But for me again: This is not what I mean with primival forests.
Just for example: One wolf family need about 100 – 300 sqarekilometer. This Perucica forest has 14 sqarekilometer.
Bears, birds, deers pics etc still have to share this space too. So that is not really a primeval forest in my mind.
But good to save it. A drop in the ocean, but necessary.
(Sorry about mention 3 times, I am not used to write so much in english, so I had to correct a few spelling mistakes)
