Deforestation
Deforestation happens when people are cutting down too many trees. It also happens when trees die because of many other things like diseases and wildfires. Which is causing climate change to get even worse.
Trees are very important to our health because they store carbon and replace it with oxygen. But a lot of the time it is happening in the Amazon rainforest where people are destroying the rainforest by cutting down trees at the rate of 30 football pitches per minute. And one of the biggest wildfires happened in the Amazon Rainforest.
You can help stop deforestation by not cutting down trees and help to fundraise money, so the government can buy more trees to plant. You can also help stop deforestation by looking after trees and making sure you're only using fallen trees for firewood. So that you don't have to cut any down.
