Environmental Catastrophe
Are you concerned about deforestation? You should be! More than half of the worlds rainforest has gone since 1960. We need to restore all of it to reverse climate change. That isnt all. We need to change agriculture and we must stop burning forests. This rehabilitation will take decades.
