PRESENTATION OUTLINE
1.
DEFORESTATION
THE DESTRUCTION OF FORESTS ON A MASSIVE SCALE
2.
WHAT IS DEFORESTATION
the clearance of forests for other uses
the biggest driver of deforestation is agriculture
31% of the earths surface is covered in forests
approx. 46-58 thousand square miles of forest are lost each year
3.
WHY IS DEFORESTATION A PROBLEM
tropical rainforests are one of the main victims of deforestation
4/5 of all plant species and nearly half of all animal species are located here
17% of the Amazon has already been cut down
4.
WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN
the quickest solution to deforestation is to stop cutting down trees
carefully manage forest resources by eliminating clear-cutting
enough new trees need to be planted to replace ones that have been cut
more areas need to be protected
