As a result of having our forests die, our wildlife population dies alongside with it. The website also…

The areas in which these plants reside are included in…

the need for additional farmland. Nearly 150 acres of forest are felled beneath the axe and saw every minute, every day, and every year. Estimates project that, despite the ubiquitous presence of the 3 trillion trees that exist on earth, nearly all tropical forests will be gone by 2060, given humanity continues clearing land at the same rate. With such a deleterious threat imminent the next few decades, many organizations have dedicated their resources to a panacea deemed as perfectly…
