An area of forest the size of Kansas is cleared every year, putting an estimated 50,000 plant and animal species at risk of extinction. This book discusses the importance of the world's remaining forests and investigates why they are being cut down at such an alarming rate. Examples look at how deforestation has affected different regions of the world, and the countries, organizations, and individuals working to prevent further damage.
