Here is a small modmod that I made after reading some dissent with chopping by AI for no purpose and hurting themselves in the process.
I made this modmod after I tested a game where there is no chop only options. It works great. Now both my workers and AI's only chop when they have something to build on. If there is nothing they can build on that certain tile at present, the forest/jungle remain a forest/jungle accordingly. I don't know if AI build jungle camp in meanwhile yet. But if they do, great! And this modmod hopefully will help AI to wisely use chop for purposes that help them.
Unfortunately, I have no way to stop AI from madly building production builds when in straits. That remain outside of my skills at this point.
Version 1.1
eek: I can't believe I'm modder enough to have version number now 
)
Fixed typo of extra <Builds> (Thanks, Ardryn!)
Download and extract to Modules folder. Then follow the sticky tutorial in this forum about ading "No Chop Without Purpose" entry to MLF file.
Enjoy!
