the answer is: the community could establish norms or even common laws that limits deforestation.

Most people would not fear of conducting a certain thing if there is not negative impact that they can feel after doing it. Establishing social pressure or common laws for people who conducting deforestation could make them either feel guilty or fear. Both can be effective in limiting the number of deforestation.
