*it is estimated that in 100 years there will be no more forest 🐸

*1 and a half acres of forests are cut down every second ⌛️

*1.6 billion people depend on forest products for their livelyhood 🍊

Increase soil erosion without trees the soil and land gets blown away

# data[].attributes.body
Trees absorb rainfall and produce water vapour that is released in the atmosphere

Increases soil erosion as the land is being destrpyed

# data[].attributes.body
Disrupt the water cycl

# data[].attributes.body
With less forest covers, there are less natural water filters, making water dirtier and clean water more expensive

# data[].attributes.body
Soils (and the nutrients in them) arge exposed to the sun’s heat. Soil moisture is dried up, nutrients evaporate and bacteria that help break down organic matter are affected. Eventually, rain washes down the soil surfaces and erosion takes place. Soils never get their full potential back.

Deforestation causes a habitat loss for millions of species

# data[].attributes.body
it derives climate change and so soil dries up with no trees and land turns to dry deserts.

# data[].attributes.body
More fires are caused as global warming becomes stronger.

# data[].attributes.body
Increases greenhouse emission

Wildlife depletes after their habitats are destroyed by deforestation

# data[].attributes.body
“Seventy percent of Earth's land animals and plants live in forests, and many cannot survive the deforestation that destroys their homes.” The trees of the rainforest that provide shelter for some species also provide the canopy that regulates the temperature, a necessity for many others.

Soil erosion can also lead to silt entering the lakes, streams and other water sources. This can decrease the local water quality and increase poor health in populations in the area.

It derives climate change and so if the trees are gone the soil will dry up and much of the land will turn to dry deserts.

Loss of fertile soil means clearance more costly as farmers have to pay for fertilisers

# data[].attributes.body
Many native tribes lose their homes

# data[].attributes.body
Earth's total forest area continued to decrease at about 13 million hectares per year, the global rate of deforestation has recently been slowing.

# data[].attributes.body
Habitats for over half the world species are lost

# data[].attributes.body
Deforestation occurs for multiple reasons: trees are cut down to be used for building or sold as fuel

# data[].attributes.body
In 30 years time it is estimated that 38 species will become extinct this contains 10 mammals, 20 birds and 8 amphibians

# data[].attributes.body
Without the rainforest the water cycle will be highly effected as the trees place water back into the atmosphere. Without the trees doing this, the water cycle is disrupted.

** The amazon rain forest is a store for 1/2 of the worlds rain water. Deforestation will mean that the water cycle will not continue as effectively and there will be little fresh water stores.

**60% of the Amazon rainforest is in Brazil. The cattle section of the Brazilian amazon rainforest has been responsible for 80% of deforestation in the region and 14% of international deforestation.
