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.

What are organizations doing to improve the situation? Fighting consumer demand is difficult

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?
