Deforestation threatens forests and the planet. Cutting down forests has wide-ranging negative impacts, from loss of biodiversity to disrupting vital environmental cycles. While some governments are taking steps, many people remain dissatisfied with efforts to prevent deforestation due to factors like agriculture, urbanization, and overpopulation. Reaching zero net deforestation will require coordinated global action across public and private sectors.

forest, it doesn't
matter how many
sawmills you have
if there are no
more trees.”

2. • Deforestation is the “action or process of clearing
of forests” (Merrium Webster).
• Deforestation occurs due to various reasons.
Agriculture, urban development, cattle ranching,
subsistence farming, logging, and natural
disasters such as forest fires, are some of these
reasons.
• Forests cover about 30-31% of our planet, but 46-
58 thousands of square miles are lost each year
to deforestation. To put in perspective that
equates to about 36 football fields per minute.

3. • Loss of species
• Soil Erosion
• Humans
• Animals
• Also affects some cycles:
• The water cycle
• The oxygen cycle
• The carbon cycle

8. Reaching the goal of zero net deforestation can be done by:
 Getting both private and public sectors involved.
Including producer, consumer, financiers and local
stakeholders in places threatened by deforestation.
 Reducing emissions from deforestation and forest
degradation by getting countries to sign an agreement,
in exchange for incentives (as done in the ‘REDD’s
program’)
 Implementing land-use policies, to keep track of who’s
using the land
 Protection and sustainable management of forests
 Promoting responsible consumption and production of
forest-related goods and agricultural commodities. (i.e.
reuse, reduce and recycle)
