The document discusses deforestation, which is the destruction of forests caused by human activities like logging, agriculture, mining, and ranching. This leads to problems like erosion, loss of wildlife habitat, decreased biodiversity, and changes to the water cycle. Specifically, about 40 million hectares of primary forests have been lost globally since 2000. To combat climate change, deforestation must end by 2020. The document recommends planting trees, reducing unnecessary wood product usage, and avoiding products linked to deforestation to help prevent further loss of forests.

2. WHAT IS IT?
Deforestation is a process
usually caused by human

agriculture, mining and
ranching.
3. CAUSES AND
CONSEQUENCIES
The loss of forests or
deforestation, is one of the
Most important problems.
As a consequence of
this, increase:
Destruction of ground due to
erosion.
The loss of habitat of wild life.
The loss of biodiversity.
Variation of water cycle.
4. DEFORESTATION IN SPAIN
According to ONU, the
surface of primary
forests in the planet
has reduced in 40
hectares
approximately, taking
into account that an
area is similar to the
size of Germany and
Denmark together
since 2000.
To fight against the
climate change is
needed to end to the
global deforestation
before 2020.
5. HOW TO ALERT
Deforestation can be
warned seeding
trees. We must avoid
the unnecessary use
of products that
come from trees.
Another action that
can help to prevent
deforestation is to
avoid consuming
products produced
with deforestation
of trees.
