Deforestation

More than 80% of all animals, plants, and insects live in forests. Not only that, but forests also provide a living for about 1.6 billion people. However, the world lost 3.3 million hectares of forest land between 2010 and 2015.

annual-deforestation

Forests have a large influence on weather patterns, water and soil quality, as well as flood prevention. The majority of deforestation is caused by food production.

Trees absorb and store carbon dioxide (CO2). When forests are cut down, CO2 and other greenhouse gases are released. Deforestation is responsible for about 10% of global warming.

Part E_9　Reading

Biodiversity loss

Forests play an important role in preventing global warming. Global warming is disrupting the natural order of breeding and resource availability. For example, inhabitants living on ice are at risk as more heat melts their habitats.

Another reason behind biodiversity loss is overexploitation. Overhunting threatens the extinction of animals. Wildlife trafficking continues, with roughly 7,000 species of animals and plants documented in illegal trade in 120 nations. 8 percent of the 8,300 recorded animal breeds are extinct, and 22 percent are on the verge of extinction.
