Did you know that 36 football fields of trees are lost every minute? Deforestation is a real
problem that needs to be noticed by many individuals. Theres only 30 percent of forests left
on Earth and six billion trees are gone every year. Deforestation is caused by agriculture.
Farmers cut down trees for space for planting crops and grazing livestock , this process can be
cutting down the trees or burning them. Another cause is logging operation this is when
loggers cut down trees for the necessities in our daily lives. Such as papers, pencils, furniture
etc. Deforestation is also for the growth of urbanization and developed of dwellings.
Sometimes deforestation can happen intentionally, theres natural factors such as wildfires
and overgrazing (exposed to intense grazing damaging the ground) that will prevent the
growth for young trees. Deforestation of any kind will permanently damage the quality of the
land and the growth of the plants/ trees. Deforestation negatively effects and impacts the
environment. Such as the millions of species habitats gone because of this, 80 percent of
Earths land species live in the forest, if tree are cut down their homes are destroyed and
cannot survive in this environment if we keep cutting trees down. Half of the species of Earth
will be extinct by 2050 if we keep living this way wasting and destroying trees for our usage.
Deforestation can also drive to climate change, forest land soil will brittle and dry up if trees
are cut down causing them to be exposed to the sun for two long and damaging the land and
not being able to grow more trees. Trees are perpetual to the water cycle by returning the
water vapor into its environment but if trees are gone they will become desserts. Deforestation

The charts placed above show how the population rates rises in the first
chart while the deforestation rates rises as well. The second chart demonstrates
how in the beginning of the 1700s about 400 million hectares are gone in
temperate forest (which are forest that correspond to to the climate change in
their area and animal adaptations), But soon start to decrease from the late
1700s to 2010, as for tropical forest the deforestation rate has been increasing
from the 1700s to 2010 mostly from the 1950s to 1979, showing that tropical

questions.
Do you know how many trees are being cut down annually?
Yes No

This part of the survey portrays how most people arent even aware of the amount of
trees being cut down annually. Change cant be made with others having knowledge
about this.

People thinking that trees are going to be extinct around 2050 (and they are correct) this proves
how the cutting down of trees is becoming faster every day and will become extinct very soon.
People saying that trees are going to be extinct around 3000 proves how they dont really have

Trees are so crucial to our survival that a world without them would be unimaginable. Trees
provide food and shelter for organisms, provide us with oxygen, and is necessary for our survival.
Predictions:
Global warming might become worse causing flooding and erosion.
Endangered species might become extinct in the near future because of their loss of habitat.
Air wont be clean for us to breathe because of pollution
Eventually trees wont be able to grow back fast enough at the rate it is being cut down
Recommendations:
To protect our trees, better laws must be passed especially in the US. In some countries logging
has been banned. There needs to be investigations of logging companies to track down illegal
logging
Laws on timber wood fuel, farming, and other forest resources must be advanced and reinforced
to limit deforestation
Reforestation
We can practice the three Rs of reduce, reuse, and recycle. Use paper as least as possible
We could donate to small organizations that are against deforestation to help them become a
bigger organization. Such as Greenpeace who collaborates with first nations, governments and
other forest companies to make the environment healthier and to try their best to save trees.
