Deforestation and Its Impact

Why is understanding forest coverage globally important?

• It helps determine climate patterns

• It helps create tourism opportunities

• It influences international deforestation policies

• It tracks wildlife populations

How does deforestation compare to other environmental issues like pollution?

• It has less impact on climate

• It affects climate more severely

• It only impacts local areas

• It is unrelated to other issues

What would happen if trees stopped absorbing carbon dioxide?

• Decreased greenhouse gases

• Increased global cooling

• Worsened greenhouse effect

• Improved air quality

Why is the 24% contribution of forestry and agriculture to greenhouse gas emissions important?

• It shows agriculture is the sole contributor

• It highlights deforestation’s role in climate change

• It reveals forestry's minor impact

• It suggests agriculture should expand

Why is tourism a lesser driver of deforestation compared to agriculture or logging?

• Tourism doesn't require much land

• Logging is more profitable

• Tourism improves forest ecosystems

• Tourism doesn't involve forest use

What is the ecological impact of losing 4,000 to 6,000 species annually?

• Boosts human agriculture

• Diminishes ecosystem services

• Improves local biodiversity

• Has no significant effect

What challenges are associated with reforestation efforts?

• Lack of government support

• Difficulty in finding land

• Ensuring biodiversity in replanted areas

• Trees grow too quickly

How does deforestation lead to habitat loss?

• By increasing greenhouse gas emissions

• By removing essential resources for species

• By improving land for urban development

• By attracting new species to cleared areas

Why do over two billion people depend on forests for survival?

• Forests provide luxury products

• Forests offer essential resources for livelihoods

• Forests are used solely for tourism

• Forests improve global biodiversity

How does replanting trees contribute beyond replacing those removed?

• It enhances ecosystems and reduces emissions

• It primarily creates new jobs

• It supports urban expansion

• It helps tourism development
