About this listen

 In this episode of Earth in Focus, we uncover the devastating effects of deforestation: an issue responsible for the loss of over 10 million hectares of forest every year. Forests are critical for absorbing carbon dioxide, protecting biodiversity, and supporting Indigenous communities, yet they continue to disappear at alarming rates due to agriculture, logging, and mining. We’ll explore the root causes, global consequences, and promising solutions like reforestation, sustainable land use, and consumer awareness.
