One of the world’s biggest problems today, is the levelling of the forest land on an industrial scale. The forests are said to be ‘the lungs of the world’ and are being destroyed around the globe at a phenomenal rate. Deforestation is a key contributor to global warming and a cause for enhancing the greenhouse effect. It also damages biodiversity – it’s estimated that 137 species of plant, animal and insect are being lost every single day due to deforestation.
