“Deforestation occurs around the world, though tropical rainforests are particularly targeted. If current deforestation levels proceed, the world's rainforests may completely vanish in as little as 100 years, according to National Geographic. Countries with significant deforestation in 2016 included Brazil, Indonesia, Thailand, the Democratic Republic of Congo and other parts of Africa, and parts of Eastern Europe, according to GRID-Arendal, a United Nations Environment Program collaborating center. The country with the most deforestation is Indonesia. Since the last century, Indonesia has lost at least 39 million acres (15.79 million hectares) of forest land, according to a study by the University of Maryland and the World Resource Institute”. ~ #earthday2018 #deforestation #rainforest #naturalwonder #habitat #ecosystem #earthday #planetearth #earth #mothernature #resistance #loveyourmother #greenleeswim #bikinifiles ~ research provided by livescience.com (at Earth)
