Should all deforestation be banned?

A case for

All deforestation should not be banned. Deforestation is a crucial role in our industry and before the opposing team says that we want to keep on going Aldi for station that is not true deforestation should still be allowed. It allows construction. It helps the people, and it helps the industrial revolution things like that. We need to keep on allowing some deforestation.

The first objection

Look, you're making this too easy. You say deforestation "helps people" and "the industrial revolution" – but which people? The ones getting rich cutting down forests, or the 1.6 billion who depend on those forests for food and medicine? Here's the thing – you're arguing for unlimited deforestation while pretending you're not. "Some deforestation" is exactly what we have now, and it's destroying the planet. We've already lost 10% of our forests. At this rate, there won't be anything left to harvest in fifty years. You want construction? Fine. But you don't need to level entire rainforests for a shopping mall. Ban it completely or you're just kicking the can down the road while the planet burns.
