not just that - it seems like what used to be thought of as just palm oil and animal agriculture and maybe some other plants like chocolate, soy, avocados, acai, etc. a lot via slash and burn agriculture. is much much different - that I know of now. Like in africa - the shea trees get cut down for charcoal (if not - as you say - they suffer from climate change. I heard they also suffer from labor and other issues). Much of africa is - in the congo - they also face charcoal issues. Well ecosia has many videos on it. In borneo - a lot is for paper.

When I was in school - teachers would give us a lot of paper and said - 'I realize there's worries about deforestation - just don't think about it, focus on studying as that's more important'. I never understood nor got why they wouldn't care - well we see that lack of care in reality. Teaching about deforestation via the very papers causing it just to have something to talk about to keep a job I guess going. I don't think I ever will.

I always talked about cooking as being a major concern - when it comes to starting up fires and using resources. Again - I was met with a lot of heated dialogue at me about how cooking doesn't matter. It really does. I believe in a raw vegan direction - because cooking is nothing but destructive - to our health, planet - which is obviously air pollution, forests, etc. Once you have the mindset that you can solve issues with fire - then you go in a pyromaniacal direction to solve everything with fire and think there isn't a way until we end up here.

I'm going to keep advocating for the educating -> foraging -> eating straight off the plant (no kitchens - I don't believe in one, so I don't have one) -> rewilding pipeline.

There's tons of them! I'm starting to map them out.

I just started reading the mongabay link you sent. It's crazy how the solution to stopping climate change is what would contribute to it - as the diversion trees are used for livestock feed. Pretty ouroborosian.
