Very good point. Another issue, at least in my country, is planted forest. Of course it is better to plant forest than turning it into farmland but basically all forests in Sweden are planted and the planted forest is cut down with 70-80 years interval. The planted forest is less diverse than an untouched forest would be and it is hurting the wildlife during the first years after being cut down.
that is a good point. I partially touched on it in my comment, but one of the thing happenning is they are clearing forest in one of our tropical islands, and “reflacing equivalent land” in a temprate only partially forested land. think after giving a full stab wound and adding a temporary bandage on to it. EVen if I believe your planting efforts puts in equal trees, you uprooted a tropical forest with rich flora and fauna, with a place which has no wildlife other than a few monkeys and some other common animals
