Deforestation is a problem that kids should worry about because…  If deforestation continues at this current rate, it will take less than 100 years to destroy all rainforests on Earth.

Deforestation is where people cut down trees to make paper or anything wood and, there are many causes for both direct and indirect deforestation.  For example, to improve transportation routes, a country might encourage road expansion into forests.  The new roads give access to loggers, settlers and large-scale commercial activities.  

I think that deforestation is bad because when the trees get cut down we loose more and more air to breath.  But there are ways to help deforestation like.  One strategy to preserve tropical forests is to teach farming methods that don’t destroy the forests.  In ’shade farming’ certain crops like coffee are grown within the forests without cutting down many trees.  I think this is a great way to help stop deforestation one other thing that I think that we can do to stop deforestation is use the internet and now the world has it so you can use the internet.

Forests cover about 30% of the Earth’s land.  Forests hold 70% of the world’s plants and animals and, an estimated 18 million acres of the world’s forests are destroyed each year.  That’s the size of South Carolina. That means that all of the animals and plants are dieing because we are killing them to make things we don’t need. I like the idea of led pencils because there is no wood but then what will we write on? If deforestation stops I hope that deforestation will stop because I do not want to run out of air in my lifetime so that is why I think that deforestation should stop.
