The number of trees cut down each year

Rainforests once covered 14% of the earth's land surface;
now they cover about 6% and experts estimate that the
last remaining rainforests could be gone in less than 40
years. Deforestation is about 20% of global warming.

The world’s rain forests could completely
vanish in a hundred years at the current
rate of deforestation.

What is Deforestation?
Deforestation is when trees get cut down and replaced with
developments, or fields to grow crops. People will get money from
cutting down all the trees and starting a new development. These
people are selfish and crucial.
This is what our world is coming too.
Knowing this information will benefit everyone! Including you!😄

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.
How it Affects Animals?
Deforestation has many negative effects on
the environment. The most biggest impact is
a loss of habitat for millions of animals.
Animals and plants live in forests, and
many cannot survive the deforestation that
destroys their homes. Deforestation also
brings climate change.

The loss of trees and other vegetation can
cause climate change, loss of animals
homes, soil erosion, fewer crops, flooding,
and greenhouse gases released in the
atmosphere.

How it affects humans?
It affects us humans by releasing gasses into the
air. Would you like to breath in tons of bad gasses
everyday. This gas is bad for our lungs.The more
we breathe in this bad air the less healthy we will
be.The more trees cut down the worse this planet
is. The trees let us breathe healthy air. Also trees
give us shade to go under in the hot summer days
and the more cut down the less shade we have.
Many animals live in trees. Every time we cut down
trees homes of animals are destroyed as well.
Then the animals could live in the basements of
our houses. Then we kill those animals and we
were the ones who hurt them first. Not only are
we hurting ourselves in the process but we are
hurting many other things.

1. The Banana Tree and the Bamboo Tree would be cut
down
2. That would have the effect of the Fruit Bat dying
3. Which would then have the effect of the Python not having
food and dying
4. The Monkey would also die because it lives in trees
5. Then the Python would have even more of a chance to die,
because the python eats monkeys
6. The Jaguar would die because the Python died, so it won’t
have food
7. Then the decomposers wouldn't have anything to
decompose
8. It's a domino effect if one dies they would all die.

Why Should You Help?
Every year, an Area of trees the
size of Panama is brutally
murdered. A lot of these trees are
homes for a variety of species, many
of them already on the verge of
extinction. Do you support the
death of millions, or will
you rally to prevent this awful act
of injustice. To help out, join us on
the National Walk for Trees, or go
