"Saving the world one tree at a time"
Deforestation has risen 2.8% between 2018 and 2019 and continues
rising as the years go on and especially in Brazil. Over 700,000
square kilometers have been destroyed since 1970 and the Amazon
continues shrinking by 40% into 2023 at its current rate. Animals,
indegoious peoples and air quality will all be affected being that
Brazilian rainforests provide almost 20% of our oxygen and hold up
to 3 million of our worlds species of animals. Without proper
awareness and understanding of this dire situation, our trees will
be gone.
ANIMALS IN DANGER:
Jaguar
Weighing around 250 pounds the Jaguar is one of the largest cats
and is considered very scared by many indigous communities.
According to the World Wildlife Fund there are only 15,000
jaguars in the wild left due to deforestation and hunting.
Without proper conservation of their habitats this wonderful
creature will be gone in years to come
Orangutan
According to the non-profit Orangutan conservancy, it is
estimated that only 54,000 Bornean Orangutans and 6,600 Sumatran
Orangutans remain in the wild. Deforestation is the number one
threat to these creatures due to their habitats being destroyed
for the construction of palm oil plants. Additionally,
Orangutans are often killed for the illegal wildlife trade.
Giant Otter
Rainforest giant otters can often grow 1.7 metres long and can
be found in waterways of the jungle.Dependent on both the land
and the water for survival, the giant otters are rapidly dying
off as a result of deforestation and water contamination.

ABOUT US:
We are a team of four who wanted to bring awareness about the
issue of deforestation. We were all inspired by our own
real-life experiences of the affects of deforestation and knew
there were bigger issues. Deforestation affects both humans and
animals, so we were inspired to make it more known to the world.
