Evaluate the article
The article was short and lacking certified citations throughout the text. The talk section, though brief, discussed factual inaccuracies of specific terminology in the article and suggested more relevant information be included, specifically regarding the effects deforestation has on climate change. It's obvious that this work is unfinished, but the last edits made were in December of 2020 so there might be more relevant information now than in previous versions. The article overall seems promising, with multiple links to other Wiki pages included, but there needs to be more text and more solid sources.
