Forest Destruction Causing Climate Change

Tropical forests store carbon in soil and trees. Like a sponge / foam, tropical forests to absorb carbon dioxide produced from burning fossil fuels as an energy source.

We need a forest with a large area to 'reduce' and the fight against climate change and preserving the earth. But that happens we do the opposite. Destroying our Forests

The destruction accounts for 20% of GHG emissions each year. And more emissions produced from around the world such as from cars, trucks, trains, ships and aircraft in 2004.

In Indonesia, peat swamp forests disappeared due to logging, draining and the fuel for the expansion of palm oil. This gambu land (sometimes hinggakedalaman 12 meters) a very large carbon store. When they are in keringakn and the fuel will be a carbon bomb, releasing nearly two tonnes of carbon dioxide milliyar dangerous every year.

Thanks to deforestation and peatland, Indonesia became the third largest polluter pollution in the world after America and China. 85% of emissions produced Indonesia, emissions come from forest destruction and conversion of peatlands

In Papua New Guinea, About a 83% of the forest that can be processed kormesial disappear or shrink in 2021 if the rate of logging continues to be done (1). Remaining forests in Papua New Guinea store twice the emissions generated in all that comes from burning fossil fuels in 2004. Deforestation has been releasing GHG emissions and contribute to increasing greenhouse gases in the atmosphere
What should we do

To stop climate change. Logging and the destruction was stopped with the goal of cessation of the destruction of tropical Duni in 2015.
