Deforestation

Do you know how many trees are cut down every year? It’s a lot, and I mean a lot. Around 15.3 Billion trees are cut down every year! Animals live in those trees. Also, trees turn carbon dioxide into oxygen which is good. People know that deforestation is bad but they do it to make space to build things or just to make money. Cattle ranching is the leading cause of deforestation. These are some of the most affected countries by deforestation, Brazil, Nigeria, Nepal, Philippines and north Korea that has cut down 61% of the trees in their country.
