- TheSpiceIsLife 8y agoI didn't down vote you. Just want to point out that deforestation to create farmlands also includes tree plantations. Tree farms, as it were. I live in Tasmania, which is notorious for chopping down old-growth forest, wood chip it mostly for paper products, and replace it with plantation timber.
