Is it true that using timber for construction leads to deforestation?
Unclear. The retrieved items only partially touch the claim: one historical account notes commercial timber growing in South China, one lists timber for construction among forest products, and one study conditionally links timber recycling to deforestation under poor forest management. None directly establishes that using timber for construction causes deforestation.
