As the world seeks to slow the pace of climate change and preserve wildlife, trees undoubtedly hold a major part of the answer. Yet the mass destruction of trees--deforestation-continues, sacrificing (牺牲)the long-term benefits of standing trees for short-term gain.
So, what are the factors leading to deforestation? Farming, animal raising, mining, and drilling combined account for more than half of all deforestation.
Luckily, a movement is under way to preserve existing forest ecosystems and restore lost tree cover. Organizations and activists are working to fight illegal mining and logging. As consumers, it makes sense to look for sustainably produced sources.
A.Yet the effects of deforestation reach much farther. |
B.Globally, forests are disappearing at an alarming rate. |
C.Wildfires and urbanization also account for a small part, |
D.Deforestation affects people and animals and even the wider world. |
E.With these joint efforts, many conservationists see reasons for hope. |
F.Deforestation is responsible for around 15% of all greenhouse gas emissions. |
G.Some deforestation is caused by a combination of human and natural factors. |
