Deforestation and the destruction of environments have happened long before capitalism. One could say that the worst parts of human behavior are encapsulated by capitalism, maybe even enhanced by.
To a degree, sure, but the reason why it accelerated and why we can't stop climate change and other massive problems is that we live under global capitalism. If we had administrations serving common people we'd be able to demand a stop to this and our countries would obey. They can't do that under the dictatorship of capital.
