Deforestation

Page 4: Global Forestry Investments - Andrew Skeene

Deforestation

Rainforests once covered;

– 14% of the Earths land surface, – Now it covers a mere 6% – Experts estimate that the last remaining rainforest could be consumed

in less than 40yrs

One and one half acres of rainforest is lost every second !!

Page 5: Global Forestry Investments - Andrew Skeene

Reason WhyRainforests were being destroyed because the value of the rainforest land was perceived as limited to the value of its timber

Impact On The Human Race

Page 7: Global Forestry Investments - Andrew Skeene

Impact On The Human Race • Experts estimate that we are losing 137 plant, animal ,and insect species every

single day due to rainforest deforestation

• That equates to 50,000 species a year

• As the rainforest species disappear, so do many possible cures for life threatening diseases

• The US National Cancer Institute has identified 3000 plants that are active against cancer cells

• 70% of these plants are found in the rainforest

• 25% of active ingredients in todays cancer-fighting drugs come from organisms found only in the rainforest

Time For Change

Page 9: Global Forestry Investments - Andrew Skeene

Time For Change• Experts agree that by leaving the rainforests intact and harvesting its many nuts,

fruits, oil producing plants and medicinal plants, the rainforest has more economic value than if they were to cut it down for its timber or to make grazing land for cattle

• Establish a sustainable forestry enterprise that generates income through, sustainable harvesting of timber or other forestry-related products;

• Promote the protection and/or restoration of the regions biodiversity and indigenous species;

• Improve the locals’ quality of life and ensure the rainforests longevity by integrating forestry operations with local communities in such a way that communities maintain and provide security for the forest and share in the forest value
