By a very simple definition:

The amount of jungle that is cleared for the express purpose of
cattle grazing -- which is what I referred to -- is a tiny fraction
of the amount of jungle that is cleared for the express purpose of
subsistence level farming.

The total amount cleared may be a matter for concern. The amount
where they go in, take out the trees, and send in the cattle, is
not.
