Instead of research deforestation, perhaps can we spend that money on the people

Research can come later
Actually no, research cannot come later. Waiting until conflict has abated would be too late for countless habitats, and the value/quality of in-process research is incomparable.

Besides which, long term sustainability of human life in the area-- not to mention shorter-term livelihoods-- are absolutely reliant on that plant life.

And finally: there is no dichotomy between saving people and researching deforestation. There are more than enough resources for both and both are absolutely essential.

Not to mention, waiting until something more important that isn't going to happen means the second thing doesn't happen either.

It's why people say their country shouldn't help refugees until it helps the poor people in their own country, while not helping the poor people in their own country. Not saying that's what Trunkage meant, but the end result of such thinking ends up the same.
