Why is deforestation still such a huge problem if we are using less and less paper?

As we covert to a more digital world, why is there still a “need” for so many trees? Is it just for farmland/livestock acres or other products?

Answer 1

Trees are cut down just as often to clear land for farming as to harvest the wood for wood based products like furniture, wood fires, construction as well as paper. Sometimes the purpose is for both clearing and wood products
