Most deforestation projects are for plant growth like coconut oil

Plant growth for animal feed. About 80% of agricultural land is for meat production.

I mean yeah plant oils are pretty impactful no denying that. Still though. ONE FIFTH of habitable land for meat agriculture is a horrifying statistic that's only getting worse as populations decrease and the ONLY excuse is capitalist greed.

Got a source for that? 80% of Amazonian deforestation is done for beef and the plants that get fed to cattle.

Plus we really need to stop reducing animals to objects or tools. It's culturally barbaric imo. We've normalized this abuse for too long. I'll be damned if we're going to let greedy capitalists reduce humanity to that kind of tribal nonsense.
