Paying deforesting farmers to reforest would be a good first step.

Not if the money has strings attached and they get prosecuted for misusing the money.

Reality is harsh in these developing countries. In things like agrarian reforms, poor farmers are handed land by the government that in the end is illegally sold to big farmers and then new protests arise asking for more land. This has been going for decades.
Same goes for the “Protected Reserves” of the natives. Everyone is just about the money.

The forest isn’t helped by moral satisfaction. Jailing all those people is a project that will never be completed, even if it is correct. (And that’s a big if.)
Creating better economic incentives can change people’s behavior, and is actually possible.

Better to throw them off their land because they obviously don't care about animals or the environment.
