What this annoyingly ignores is one of the biggest contributors to deforestation, animal agriculture.
80% of the deforestation in the Amazon has been for cattle and their food[1].
It makes sense, people eat a lot of animals, animals need a lot of food. Blaming banks is an easier group to blame then ourselves and our own choices, though.
