00Stopping deforestation has become an international movement. 00First of all 00we need to know the reasons of deforestation to stop it. 02br
02br

00Reasons:02b02br
01ul
00Logging is one of the main causes of deforestation. Over 80% of the world's ancient forests have been destroyed by logging. 02br
02br
00P00overty is another main reason for deforestation. For three out of four people wood is the main fuel. The short supply of wood makes it very expensive. But the poor people have no choice. They need the wood for cocking and living. For example poor farmers clear the forest for firewood,cattle and farmland. 02br
02br
00Another cause of deforestation is that the fossil fuels, for example coal and oil are expensive in the Third World. 02br
02ul
00The result is the USA,the EU and Russia consume about sixty-five per cent of the worlds fossil fuels. The rest of the world for example Africa only use thirty-five per cent of the fossil fuels. 02br

00Global warming02b00 is one of the main consequences of deforstation,because c00learing forests by burning trees realese tonnes of carbon dioxide into the air.02br
02br
00Another problem is when large areas of rainforest are cleared, the trees are no longer present to help absorb the rainfall and protect the soil from erosion. Furthermore deforestation destroy the habitat of animals. 02br

00 industrialization02b00 is a part of the answer to the problem. It gives people work and gets them off the land and it is not the reason for deforestation, because if an oil company deforests an area to drill for oil , it has to reforest again when it has finished 010id1
