the redickules rate of cuting trees down in ghana!

the rate of cuting in ghana is 5 times the rate it should be. In resalt they have lost 26% of there forest. cuting down so many trees can also produce more green house gases over time. the tropics amount to 20% of all green house gases in the world. which means it will produce 80 to 130 billion tonns of carbon by 2100. But if we can stop deforestation by 2050 we can save 50 billion tonns of carbon from are atmosphere and slow global warming.

ghana's people fight back!

Ghana people believe that deforestation needs to stop if the forest even stands a chance of surviving in Ghana. In fact if they keep goin at the rate they are now the forest will be gone in the next 45 years. Ghana's new president Jerry Rawlings said that "logging and forest protechion should go hand and hand" he also banned exporting of raw loggs and set a sike 16% of the forest for wildlife and plants. Ghana is very aware of this and is fighting back to try to save their forest!

the dumb use of wood for money in ghana!

in Ghana they have been cutting down trees and using it as fire wood or to sell which is crazy to cut so much to sell when the rain forest is getting so little and causing others to work a lot harder just to live. And the Ghana people get nothing out of this except a smaller forest and animals dieing. I personally think this is wrong to take away animals homes and destroy the beautiful rain forest

deforestation in genral

we need to stop cutting down trees in Ghana 'cause the rain forest is only 25% of it's original size. also 'cause there is a risk of a climate change and erosion. another reason would be that the dessart is geting biger and the animals and people will have to move farther back or have to work harder to live and the animals will soon die if this keeps up 'cause they won't have a home to live in. this is a very bad problem that is hurting animals and people that can be solved but it will take time to fix.
