    Reforesting agricultural land by reducing meat consumption would make a huge difference, particularly in the Amazon (#1 cause of deforestation in the Amazon is for beef production). Livestock farming uses around 50% of all agricultural land globally, while plant based proteins use a small fraction of that. Reforesting also has the benefits of improved biodiversity.

      no reforestation has been caused by cutting meat out of ones diet. all reforestation efforts, in fact, have nothing at all to do with diet.
