Our forests are one of the most important components of the earth’s overall ecological systems. The destruction of significant portions of the world’s forests has resulted in a seriously degraded environment with reduced biodiversity. In many countries, massive deforestation is occurring on an ongoing basis, leading to major climate and geography changes.
Deforestation is the result of indiscriminate removal of trees without balanced reforestation. The results of deforestation are profound, causing the displacement of indigenous people, declines in wildlife habitat and reduced biodiversity. Seventy percent of the earth's land animals and plants live in the forests? Deforestation impacts everyone in the world.
