Make the case that "deforestation" is the primary things we should care about. Start by explaining what it is.
It's just a word to most people, something drilled into them by 90s era Captain planet type environmentalism
Similarly things like species population decline is insignificant and driven primarily through a few highly visible cases. And this ignores the dynamic nature of life. For instance I remember hearing about how great barrier reef will disappear in a few decades. By 2024, AIMS measured the highest coral cover in 38 years of monitoring in the northern and central regions: roughly 40% and 34%, respectively.
Not to say we shouldn't worry about things but it's just naive and overly doomer to believe everything negative even when presented w evidence of the contrary
