Earth Day 2017
Let's protect the world's forests:
Since '90- loss of 1,000 football fields/hr-1.3mm square km; get involved; do your part.
Indonesia lost 39mm acres in last century, per Univ. Maryland & World Resources Institute
Brazil did a good job between 2004-14 reducing Amazon forest deforestation by 70%.
However, Brazil from 7/15 to 8/16 cut down 2 million acres of forest -not good; write to Brazil to stop this deforestation.
Let's do our share - get involved
Deforestation and forest degradation cause surges to greenhouse gases into atmosphere - support organizations such as The Nature Conservancy and Conservation International.
