You are right that people simply not having babies would not be enough to change things, but it would surely be a good start. I personally find it very difficult not to be judgmental of anyone who wants to have children in this day in age. If I were king of the world I would use the military to enforce a mandatory birth control/abortion program. Having more than one or two kids is just obscene.

It seems that you do not have a very accurate picture of what is really happening to forests around the world. Indigenous peoples burning wood for heat is of little consequence. Logging operations especially illegal ones and clearing vast areas for large scale industrial agricultural purposes and the wildfires that are often the result are the real destructive forces. I believe that usually the timber and the profit is usually going to other countries not to the countries where the forests are actually being raped.
