Deforestation must reduce massively to protect the planet\u2019s climate, biodiversity, and even the very air we breathe.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Deforestation<\/p>\n

Economic gain provides the most powerful incentive for clearing forests. The expansion of agriculture is behind nearly 80 percent of global deforestation.<\/span><\/span>5<\/sup><\/a><\/span> A mere four commodities \u2013 beef, soy, wood products and palm oil <\/a>\u2013 drive the majority of deforestation in tropical regions.<\/span><\/span>6<\/sup><\/a><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Deforestation\"<\/p>\n

In Malaysia and Indonesia, clearing space for palm oil production is the principal motive for deforestation.<\/span><\/span>7<\/sup><\/a><\/span> <\/span>Not only is the oil found in half of all packaged supermarket products, but it is also an important biofuel.<\/span><\/span>8<\/sup><\/a><\/span> <\/span>To date, more than 27 million hectares of the Earth\u2019s surface have been converted into palm oil plantations.<\/span><\/span>9<\/sup><\/a><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Deforestation\"<\/p>\n

Building roads through forests increases habitat fragmentation, kills wildlife and changes animals’ behaviour.<\/span><\/span>10<\/sup><\/a><\/span> <\/span>It also provides access to increasingly remote locations.<\/span><\/span>11<\/sup><\/a><\/span> <\/span>This facilitates further logging activities, which provide wood and paper products.<\/span><\/span>12<\/sup><\/a><\/span> As much as 95 per cent of all deforestation occurs within five kilometres of a road or navigable river.<\/span><\/span>13<\/sup><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Deforestation\"<\/p>\n

Logging operations remove countless trees each year.<\/span><\/span>14<\/sup><\/a><\/span> <\/span>They supply pulp for the world\u2019s paper and timber industries for construction, furniture and other products.<\/span><\/span>15<\/sup><\/a><\/span> Felling a single tree can bring down multiple neighboring trees, increasing the impact of selective logging.<\/span><\/span>16<\/sup><\/a><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Deforestation\"<\/p>\n

Subsistence and smallholder commercial farming leads much of Sub-Saharan Africa\u2019s deforestation.<\/span><\/span>17<\/sup><\/a><\/span> <\/span>Converting forests to farmland is a route many people are taking to improve their economic standing.<\/span><\/span>18<\/sup><\/a><\/span> Unfortunately, the tools used to work the land are often unsophisticated, resulting in more land required to grow sufficient crops.<\/span><\/span>19<\/sup><\/a><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Deforestation\"<\/p>\n

11,088 square kilometers (4,281 square miles) of Brazil’s rainforest was destroyed between August 2019 and July 2020.<\/span><\/span>20<\/sup><\/a><\/span> <\/span>This is the highest yearly rate of deforestation in the Amazon since 2008.<\/span><\/span>21<\/sup><\/a><\/span> <\/span>Cattle ranching drives 80 percent of deforestation in the world\u2019s largest rainforest.<\/span><\/span>22<\/sup><\/a><\/span> Soy cultivation, the majority of which becomes animal feed, is another significant driver.<\/span><\/span>23<\/sup><\/a><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
