You and Me - We are responsible for the loss of forests

 Yes, it's us, us as consumers, we are responsible for the gradual reduction in forested land around the world. One example comes from this article, "Mass deforestation: How trade fells trees in Brazil and Indonesia" (https://www.dw.com/en/mass-deforestation-how-trade-fells-trees-in-brazil-and-indonesia/a-48280649)


Consumption of products as diverse as beef, margarine, palm oil, soy, sushi and timber drives the need for more and more agricultural land. This is land which before had been the home of trees.
