Economic effects of deforestation
What's so wrong about cutting down trees if we're going to use that space to cover it with farmland to provide a benefit local populations or even global economy?
This is what a lot of people would say about this topic. Unfortunately this is wrong. Deforestation of the forests continues to destabilize the global climate, which in turn has a negative impact on much more agricultural land than the amount left by the deforestation. The land that is used from deforestation is very often poor land for agricultural purposes. This land is drained of all its growth potential and quickly become useless.

Did you know that natives of the forests eat ten times more different kinds of fruit than people in the rest of the world?
At some point of our lives we have consumed food that came from a Forest. But there is countless varieties of potential future crops that have not yet been discovered. some will never be discovered due to the fact that there is around 80,000 acres of forests destroyed daily!

Not Only Do The forests Affect Both Local And Global Food Supplies Directly By Altering Regional And Global Climates, But They Also Represent A Vast Wealth Of Information And Potential Future Food Sources We Have Yet To Discover. It Is In The World's Economic And Environmental Interest That The forests Be Protected In The Long Term.
