Rainforest:deforestation

E10-1 Elia

Summary• Deforestation is to

remove trees of rainforest.

• Causes of deforestation are agriculture, logging, overgrazing, road building and fire.

• Deforestation leads desertification and destruction of animal’s habitat.

How Does this Problem Affect Us?

• Decrease of trees leads increase of CO2 in the air. Then because of greenhouse effect, global warming become worse.

• Land become weak and fall down easily.

• Deforestation promotes desertification.

• Destruction of animal’s habitat leads loss of biodiversity.

Solutions• To designate national

park or sanctuary• Don’t waste paper.• To restrain indiscreet

logging• International programs

(UN-REDD, UNFF etc.)

Statistics

• During 20 years, world forest cover decreased from 4168 million hectares to 4033 million hectares.

Possible Solutions• Rotational grazing : to

divide paddock into some parts and to use a part of paddock to graze by rotation. It help land to return to life.

What Will be the Result if This Problem ISN’T solved soon?

• Most of rainforest will become a big desert.

• There is no enough food. • Animals lose their

habitats and start to be exterminated.

• CO2 in the air will increase.
