Clear cut effects
March 2, 2020
- Canada forests are used to make toilet paper and for agriculture, including chocolate and palm oil.
- Trees are burned to make grazing fields for cattle ranchers, whose livestock are used to create beef patties for major fast-food organizations.
- Forests are burned to make room for bigger farms to help local farmers feed their families.
- Trees are used to make wood products.
- Forests are removed to make room for mines.
- Roads are built through the forest to connect the farms.
- When dams are built, they create a lake that floods parts of the forest.
- Faulty dams can also break, which only aggravates the problem.
