If the concern is species extinction, the largest contributing factor globally is deforestation, which is primarily driven by industrial agriculture so we can produce more grain and soybeans to feed animals. So again it ties back to the animals we eat for food.
We're already torching millions of acres to make room for more plants to feed back to animals. And those are intentional fires and logging operations!
Ultimately what I'm saying is that our bottomless need to consume meat directly contrasts with our desire to prevent wildfires and species extinction. In fact, the first thing is directly causing the second.
