I Can Change The World, With My Own Two Hands

 

The biggest man made catastrophe of the modern world 'deforestation' has taken a huge toll on the environment. Statistics have revealed that by year  2030 only 10% of the the present forest will be left. The following shows the irreparable changes that has happened all over the world:

• In Nigeria 81% of its original forest cover is now permanently lost.
  
  
• The tropical rainforests of Brazil are less by 90-95%.
  
  
• The forests of Central America are down by two-thirds lowlands, since 1950.
  
  
• Countries like India, Mexico, Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Myanmar, China, Sri Lanka, the Congo and Ghana have lost much more than 50% of their rainforest cover.
  
  
• Harvesting of forest cover has left Afghanistan with a little over 25% forests throughout the country

In countries like Haiti this deforestation is having a really adverse effect on the people and the economy .

So let us all take a moment and think to ourselves what we can do to contribute to tackle this issue.

After all our arms are for hugging, and not cutting down trees.
