Evergreen - Depopulation

Causes of deforestation

Forests cover around 30% of the land's surface according to NASA but they are under threat from a variety of human activities. This is remarkably short-sighted given the many benefits forests bequeth mankind: clean air, timber, shelter, soil stability, climate regulation, biodiversity and food supply. Data on deforestation rates is variable. A recent report by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation (UNFAO) estimated that around 7.3 million hectares are being lost a year (18 million acres). Other reports claim that between 1960 and 1990, 20% of the world's tropical rainforests were wiped out whilst other reports claim that tropical rainforests will be all but wiped out by the middle of this century.
