  4. Environmental Sustainability Progress Made

  5. The rate of deforestation shows signs of decreasing Over the last decade nearly 13 million hectares have been lost due to natural causes each year but this doesn’t top the 1990’s with their 16 million hectares lost yearly. Since 2000 the net loss of forest has reduced from 8.3 million annually to 5.2 annually.

  6. Evidence to Proposed Solution • Between 2000 and 2010, some 13 million hectares of forests were converted annually to other uses, such as agriculture, or lost through natural causes, down from 16 million hectares per year during the 1990s, according to the assessment which surveyed 233 countries and areas. Not only have countries improved their forest policies and legislation, they have also allocated forests for use by local communities and indigenous peoples and for the conservation of biological diversity and other environmental functions - Eduardo Rojas, Assistant Director-General of FAO's Forestry Department

  7. Final Summation • To sum everything up, these issues have been going on for decades there’s come a point were the nation leaders need to step up and do more than what they have been doing to save these countries instead of wasting money on funding unnecessary causes. These people have been suffering long enough even if United States have to sacrifice anything, I’m sure we can afford to do so and still maintain as a country.
