Study Notes

Tropical Rainforests in Crisis

  • Tropical rainforests, which cover only 7% of the Earth's surface, are home to over 50% of all species on the planet.
  • Despite their importance, tropical rainforests are being destroyed at an alarming rate, with an estimated 13 million hectares lost annually.

Impact of Deforestation

  • Deforestation is leading to the displacement of indigenous communities, who have lived in harmony with the forest for centuries.
  • The destruction of rainforests is also resulting in the loss of biodiversity, with many animal species facing extinction.

Causes of Rainforest Destruction

  • Logging, both legal and illegal, is a significant contributor to rainforest destruction, as trees are harvested for timber and wood products.
  • Agriculture, particularly soybean and palm oil production, is another major driver of deforestation, as forests are cleared to make way for crops.
  • Urbanization and infrastructure development, such as the construction of roads and dams, are also contributing to the destruction of rainforests.
