Why?
Because deforestation is happening at an alarming rate.
But guess what?
We can do something about it AND embark on the Cancun adventure of your life.
Remember, before we can solve anything, we must learn what the problem is first.
Ready?
Lets do this!
Agriculture is the main cause of deforestation.
It can also lead to infertility in the land preventing future growth.
People remove trees for paper or wood.
This is a controversial topic. Some say we need to switch to biofuels to help save the environment.
Others say we havent thought this all the way, though. The evidence for this?
The use of palm oil, soy, and ethanol contributes heavily to deforestation.
Did you know this?
In most of the developing world, people use burnt trees as charcoal to heat their homes and cook their food.
Because people need to get places right? This one is a tough one to get around.
People want gold and other precious minerals. This leads to more deforestation.
