CMV: We are on our way to completely destroy forests and wildlife

To be honest i'm really making this post in hope that there's some optimism out there, but i don't see any.

In my native country (romania) i always heard since i was little about the illegal and legal logging that is going on, and apparently it's much worse for the amazon rain forest, papua new guinea, north korea and many more places. My view on this is basically that our ecosystem is being destroyed by big corporations for profit and that the only way nature will recover is when humans go extinct.

Wood can be and often is a renewable resource. In the EU considerably more trees are planted than are cut down, and forests are beginning to recover and expand. In the US virtually all paper and softwood comes from sustainable forests or tree farms planted exclusively for harvesting the wood once the trees are grown. Throughout the entire world, restrictions have been placed or are being considered on certain types of wood that are not sustainable and tend to be harvested through deforestation in places like the Amazon. 

All this to say, things have already gotten significantly better regarding our treatment of forests, and we are on a trajectory towards completely sustainable lumber and paper. There are certainly still plenty of challenges ahead and there *are* a huge number of ecosystems that are currently being damaged for profit, but there's no reason to assume that's the only way things can go because we are already making significant progress on both ending and reversing that damage.
