This paper will discuss deforestation across the globe and how it affects the world’s ecosystems. Everyday, a piece of Earth’s ecosystem is demolished by human hands for the conquest for timber, minerals, and other resources. Forests cover 2% of the Earth’s surface, 6% of the landmass, and yet they house half the animal and plant species while rainforests cover twice that area.

developing they need to focus on transportation and their sources of energy. It is a widely known fact that transportation (mainly cars) is the main source of CO2 released into the atmosphere and the main cause of air pollution, which contributes to global warming. This is important because when peripheral countries are developing this becomes a priority to make sure that they develop in a sustainable way with the best ways of transportation. While peripheral countries are developing core countries

amount of carbon dioxide, a change in this can have a big impact on the living things and animals. “The temperature is also an important role”(wired magazine), if the temperature keeps rising every year than the plants will dry out and even cause global warming which we already are facing. This will only be a disaster and we have to know how to solve this problem and be aware. Water is another important part of all living things because without it we can do anything or live without it. If the temperature
