Deforestation is the process of clearing natural forests through logging or burning to use the timber or replace the area for other uses. It results in the loss of 12-15 million hectares of forest each year, equivalent to 36 football fields per minute. Deforestation causes 15% of global greenhouse gas emissions and threatens over 1.6 billion people who rely on forests for their livelihoods and results in 50-100 species becoming extinct each day. Solutions to reduce deforestation include recycling more paper, using electronics more, making computers more affordable, reforestation, and educating people about the dangers of deforestation.

283 billion tons of carbon
Present in the biomass

Greenhouse gas emissions
It is estimated that about 50 to 100
Species of animals being lost each
day as a result of deforestation
