-Deforestation-
Deforestation is becoming increasingly distressing. The accelerating destruction of rainforests is now being recognised as one of the leading cause to global warming. The carbon emissions caused from the destruction of rainforests are much greater than any emissions produced by aeroplanes and factories.
This deforestation is a occurring every single day at an alarming rate of one acre per second.
Due to the deforestation it will mean devastating events occurred from climate change. Including rising sea levels and decreased snow cover in the Northern Hemisphere.
At the rate of all this destruction, the world’s rainforests could completely vanish, in no more than 100 years. The biggest driver of deforestation is agriculture. Farmers cut forests to provide more room for planting crops or grazing livestock. Deforestation has many negative effects on the environment. The most dramatic impact is a loss of habitat for millions of species. Seventy percent of Earth’s land animals and plants live in forests, and many cannot survive the deforestation that destroys their homes.
Together we must stop the deforestation to help our Earth and species.
