How does logging industry contributed to deforestation?

Logging is not the main cause of deforestation. The logging industry has re-planted more seedlings that have matured into adult size trees over the decades and creating MORE trees than the U.S. has ever had before.

Another reason for deforestation is caused by arsonist and the environmental activist who have nothing better to do. Not to mention the illegals camping out in the forest and leaving camp fires smoldering and growing into a major forest fire.

Think about it? If the logging industry were ONLY in the logging business to rape the forest year after year, decade after decade. Uhhh, don't ya think their logging business would become nonexistent and they would be OUT OF BUSINESS?

Fact is, we have more trees today than we have ever had.
