often due to farming and logging. Farming clears forests for large areas of crops and animal grazing. Logging cuts down trees to produce paper products.1 From 2000 to 2005, Nigeria had about 56 percent of forestland lost from deforestation.

Most people who viewed the recovery plan would hurry to blame the logging businesses and the so-called “Timber Wars” both of which having materialistic politicians backing them up. The delay of the plan also echoes from environmental subdivisions, however not short of good intention, they have fought against recovery…

is causing the animals to become extinct from the rainforest. Every year in the Amazon 9.6 to 23.5 million of inset animals are harvested. Damming and mining must not part take in the Amazon, as it is renewing the environment and killing animals.
