What to Focus On

  • 80% of terrestrial biodiversity is in developing countries
  • Rainforests cover 6% of land but contain over 50% of biodiversity
  • Rainforests absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen
  • Zero deforestation policies reduce pressure on forests
  • Protected areas and indigenous rights help conserve forests
  • Brazil achieved a 67% fall in deforestation
  • Legal ivory trade has been proposed for Loxodonta africana
  • Loxodonta cyclotis and Asian elephants are more endangered
  • Asian elephants were placed in the Endangered category in 1996

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Deforestation in Amazonia is mainly a local forest issue and does not affect global climate or biodiversity.

Biodiversity is concentrated mostly in developed countries because they have more technology and better conservation systems.

Brazil stopped deforestation only by banning all forest use, so the success came from completely stopping agriculture and development.
