How can you help prevent deforestation?
Recycle: Try to reuse a product or sell/give to recycling plants to reduce the demand for new raw materials.
Logging: When a tree needs to be cut down make sure to remove the old trees and let the young trees grow. Also, for every tree that is removes, plant another in its place.
Farming: Farmers should try and limit the number of fields they have and plant on just one or two fields. this helps keep the soil fertile and produces good crops.
Palm Oil: Limit the use of palm oil products because they are the leading cause of deforestation in Indonesia and Malaysia, which is home to the orangutan.
Coal: Most people have fire places that require wood for fuel. Try using coal instead as the source for heat, or convert to a gas fireplace.
Support: There are a lot of foundations and organizations that help with the prevention of deforestation. For example WWF and Greenpeace. Give to these groups that make a big impact in our world. And just spread the word about the danger of deforestation, not only because of the loss of habitat for really cool animals but also because the last tree on earth is the death of man kind.
