Felled Forests: The Costs of Deforestation

An estimated 41 million trees are cut down per day.

Deforestation refers to the clearing of forests, often for agricultural or commercial purposes.

Climate Change

Loss of Habitat

Soil Erosion

Forests play a vital role in regulating the Earth's climate by absorbing carbon dioxide (CO2) and producing oxygen

Deforestation destroys habitats and ecosystems leading to the loss of biodiversity and the extinction of species.

Trees help to stabilize soil and prevent erosion. Deforestation can lead to more natural disatsers, such a landslides.

a single tree can absorb up to 48 pounds of carbon dioxide each year.

When forests are cleared, the carbon stored in trees is released into the atmosphere in the form of carbon dioxide (CO2)

Deforestation is responsible for approximately 10% of global greenhouse gas emissions.
