Deforestation and climate change
Deforestation is one of the main contributors to climate change . It comes in many forms, natural fires, agricultural clear cutting, livestock ranching, and untenable logging for timber, degradation due to climate change, and etc. Forests cover 31% of the land area on our planet and annually, 18.7 million acres of forest is lost. [1] Deforestation is a mass elimination of trees which continues to threaten tropical forests, their biodiversity and the ecosystem services they provide. The main area of concern of deforestation is in tropical rainforest since it is home to the majority of the biodiversity. There are organizations such as World Wildlife Fund whose main focus is to conserve nature and reduce the most pressing threats to the diversity of life on Earth. [1]

Deforestation is one of the main contributors to climate change . It is the second largest anthropogenic source of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, after fossil fuel combustion. Deforestation and forest degradation contribute to atmospheric greenhouse gas emissions through combustion of forest biomass and decomposition of remaining plant material and soil carbon . It used to account for more than 20% of carbon dioxide emissions , but it’s currently somewhere around the 10% mark. By 2008, deforestation was 12% of total CO 2 , or 15% if peatlands are included. These proportions are likely to have fallen since given the continued rise of fossil fuel use. [1] |
