One hardly ever hears of the word forest dewordification. We need conservative conservation. 😕
In your example one "and" seems to mean pretty much the same thing, but is a beautiful example of the word over harvesting that is devoweling our planet. Little known fact, in India and China an "E" is worth 5 Bengal tiger skins on the black market. 😕

I have no doubt that that is true 😕
(Note, contractions such as "she's had" Bypass the repeating word and are evil in nature)
It's just that that type of sentence is either redundant or at least odd or awkward.
Do you mean to say "she'd had"?
