A catastrophe for human enviroments
Loss of biodiversity and deforestation causes massive issues
Outcry for biodiversity
We have been changing how we use our land, more and more forests have been being taken down. This has been an issue for a long time, you've probably been told time and time again that we need to stop deforestation but now the situation is catastrophic. The forests and the biodiversity they support bring us protection form disease, clean water, food, and shelter. We simply cannot let the situation get any worse

This land was covered in a dense forest, now because of farming this land is completely cleared
Take action against deforestation
Reuse, Recycle, and Donate. Reusing and recycling help make less need for cutting down forests. We NEED forests and biodiversity to survive, this isn't a statement its a fact. Without forests and biodiversity we will have an unhealthy environment and we are directly impacted by our environment. "[Biodiversity] are sources of food, nutrients, medicines, fuel, energy, and livelihoods and cultural and spiritual enrichment. They also contribute to the provision of clean water and air, and perform critical functions that range from the regulation of pests and disease to that of climate change and natural disasters," said Braulio Ferreira de Souza Dias, the Executive Secretary of the Convention on Biological Diversity and the Assistant Secretary General of the United Nations. I can not and will not sit around and watch our world be destroyed and i hope you will join me and the WWF to fight against deforestation and its terrible affects on biodiversity and our environment.
