Organised Crime: A Top Driver of Global Deforestation
Every year the world loses an estimated 25 million acres (10 million hectares) of forest, an area larger than the state of Indiana. Nearly all of it is in the tropics. Tropical #forests store enormous quantities of carbon and are home to at least two-thirds of the world’s living species, so #deforestation has disastrous consequences for #climatechange and conservation. Trees absorb carbon dioxide as they grow, slowing its buildup in the atmosphere – but when they are burned or logged, they release their stored carbon, fueling further warming. Tropical forest loss generates nearly 50% more greenhouse gases than does the global transportation sector. Take action to help rainforests and #BoycottPalmOil #Boycott4Wildlife
