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

Question

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

The focus on using less paper as a way to “save the forests” was largely created as a way to give people a feeling of control, of personal responsibility. In reality, clearing forests is more about freeing up land for agriculture, mostly grazing animals.
