Wood is actually pretty sustainable. It can be farmed and is a natural carbon capture.

It's worth emphasizing that issues with deforestation are primarily related either to using wood for fuel or land-use changes (replacing forests with soybean farms or palm oil). Using wood for paper pulp or construction is extremely manageable, and in terms of the latter, it's probably the most environmentally friendly construction material.
