as much as I hate to defend a massive corporation, I don't think this is actually true. IKEA claims to use 99.9% FSC-certified wood, so it's coming from forests where the trees are planted at the same rate that they're harvested. it makes sense for companies to do this even from a profit-driven perspective, since it would be quite bad for their business if there weren't enough trees
the main cause of deforestation is agriculture, especially animal agriculture. 80% of de-forested land in the amazon rainforest is being used to rear cattle
you should look up what they're doing in romania
can you cite that?
