Death by a thousand cuts

Deforestation research

Reduced biodiversity: Deforestation and forest degradation can cause biodiversity to decline. When forest cover is removed, wildlife is deprived of habitat and becomes more vulnerable to hunting. Considering that about 80% of the world's documented species can be found in tropical rainforests, deforestation puts at risk a majority of the Earth’s biodiversity.

REED
The lone survivor
as part of the industrial changes, forest where being destroyed at an alarming rate. in a small village in the rain forest ( Brazil), Reed the lone survivor of the war tell hes story.

It was strangely like war. They attacked the forest as if it were an enemy to be pushed back from the beachheads, driven into the hills, broken into patches, and wiped out. Many operators thought they were not only making lumber but liberating the land from the trees...
