Yes, losing the rainforest is a serious problem and it doesn’t seem to be improving.

Isn’t the land being destroyed so people can have more meat, palm oil, etc.

I also find it hypocritical.
My ancestors on my “civilised” country uprooted an tore down all the trees and forests, most of the countryside is farmland. And now that we have destroyed our forests we go “no no, preserve the rainforests”… so we can keep planting wheat?
Again, I think planting Icelandic trees is awesome! Just since OP specifically mentioned "offset my carbon emissions" I thought I'd shill one of my favorite ways of doing that :)
