The document warns that the planet is in danger from climate change as the ice caps melt, sea levels rise, and the ozone layer disappears. It highlights how forests have been rapidly diminishing over the past few decades through a series of before and after photos showing deforestation between 1976 to 2005. It calls on people to take action now to stop irreversible deforestation and leave forests for future generations.

3. The Forests are disappearing , the photographs shown are a reality check, but it is important to point out how the forests have been progressively diminishing. A process that seems to be irreversible if we do not act now.

4. Only 24 to 26 years separate these images! After reviewing the following comparisons you will realize that something must be done now to stop this deforestation that is affecting our planet. We must leave something for the next generation.

5. 200 2 1976 In this separation of just 26 years notice the amount of deforestation.

6. 1978 2004 Again in just over a quarter of a century see what has happen.

7. 1981 2005 Here is a snapshot of just 24 years. Look at the amount of forest that has been lost.

8. 1979 2003 This is a comparison of 2 tropical forests. In this comparison there also appears to be an unexplained growth that is replacing the forest.
