2. Increase in Global warming and Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions
Tropical rainforests are disappearing causing alterations to the climate
Each day at least 80,000 acres (32,300) hectares of these forests
disappear from the earth
Ozone depletion
Forest fires (release about 370 million tons of greenhouse gases into
the atmosphere every year)
Deforestation rates in the Amazon Rainforests have not slowed

3. ECONOMIC IMPLICATIONS
Industries are over-using and over-cutting trees for prosperity
and mostly for profit
Rapid globalization around the world is a major concern
Increase in Supply & Demand
Since the population around the world is constantly growing on a
daily basis, many corporations are clearing forests to build
infrastructures
Poverty stricken countries give their natural resources away to
earn foreign currency to pay off loans

4. Biofuels are produced from renewable resources such as:
plants and organic waste and can be used as an
alternative to fossil fuels
Palm oil plantations are posed as a major threat
Destroying habitats of orangutans and other wildlife
Orangutans spend about 80-90% of their time in the
trees
Demand for biofuels is on the rise

5. DEFORESTATION IN BRAZIL
Brazil looses the largest area of forest cover annually

6. INCREASE IN TROPICAL DEFORESTATION
AROUND THE WORLD

7. CONTROVERSIAL TOPIC: CONSTRUCTION OF THE RED HILL CREEK
EXPRESSWAY PROJECT-
HAMILTON, ONTARIO

8. MAJOR DEFORESTATION IN BRAZIL

9. ~~~ If everybody does not stay ignorant and take little steps or
solutions to prevent deforestation from occurring in the future, then
overall we all will have a better world to live in. ~~~
Reduce wasteful land use practices
Improve already developed lands
Businesses and corporations have to be more aware of the effects that
deforestation causes and they have to take little initiatives to
prevent it from increasing
Governments have to make citizens aware of the issue
Each person can plant trees once in a while to maintain the ecosystem
Groups can be formed to decrease deforestation
The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and Global Forest Watch Canada
(GFWC) are groups that have already been formed to prevent
deforestation
