Oh, here's another can of worms!!!

Over cutting
Logging & desire for exotic woods.
Deforestation
Converting Forest land to farmland.
A new concern is palm oil plantations for biodiesel fuel alternatives.
Dams and reservoirs.

One notes, of course, that in the past there has been massive deforestation in the USA, Europe, and I imagine in many parts of Asia. It is certainly much easier to point fingers at other countries.
