Tropical forests were cut down to expand the plantations.

Helping soybean farmers, palm oil planters, and cattle ranchers from Brazil to Southeast Asia to use land more productively, thereby reducing pressure on tropical forests, must be an integral part of the solution.

The result is massive loss of habitat and destruction of species, yielding a tiny economic benefit at a huge social cost.

Illegal logging continues today, with only ineffectual efforts made to stop it.

In the United States, deforestation began as soon as the colonies were settled.

Their rainforests are a vast storehouse of biodiversity, and forests are major carbon sinks, reducing the level of CO2 in the atmosphere.

The rainforests are disappearing at the rate of tens of thousands of hectares a day.

Not only are 12 of bird species already in danger of extinction, but more than twice that proportion have small geographical ranges (the key predictor of threat) and mostly live in habitats that are seriously threatened.

Tropical forests, for example, hold the majority of bird species and likely most other kinds of species too.

The island features lush mountainous rainforests, home of many rare plant, animal, and bird species.

Its humid tropical forest stretches more than 23,000 hectares across volcanic mountain.
