Clear cut effects

  • 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.
