The amount of money is quite irrelevant, if it isn't readily put to use to stop the fires and stop the arsonists, or spent on drafting laws and sanctions that ensure we eliminate all demand for everything that could possibly incentivize starting fires and expanding land use.
Aside of the specific issue of destroying a huge amount of the Earth's carbon storage, water cycle, oxygen supply and biodiversity, we should strive to reduce land use as a rule in all cases. It should be integral to politics in all countries. Dismissing overpopulation because it's "just about distribution" is no more helpful than demanding growth in all industries. If we could feed the world on insects, okay, but whatever we do it's not good enough if it doesn't result in a net reduction of consumption and emissions.
