Logging is definitely intertwined with agriculture though

Of course, it's better not to waste the lumber since the trees are being cut down anyway. My point isn't that logging is good, but that there's a much bigger threat in regards to deforestation that has an attainable individual goal where we don't need to rely on greedy corporations changing their minds. There are admittedly a huge portion of people who will outright refuse to go vegetarian but any vegetarian people will make a difference. If 50% of people go vegetarian that means we'll use 1/3 less land. 25% of people means 1/6 less land, etc.

Addressing climate change requires a multi-pronged approach and every little bit helps.

And it’s better to be vegan. Vegans also don’t cause destructions via milk productions like vegetarians do. Not to mention that being vegan causes you to avoid the rape and murder that goes along with egg and milk production
