Deforestation and its Consequences, Lecture notes of Environmental Science

A webquest that explores the topic of deforestation. It provides a list of questions related to the consequences of deforestation, the number of species found in tropical rainforests, the impact of deforestation on local climate, proposed actions to tackle deforestation, the main direct cause of deforestation, activities that follow road expansion into forested lands, commodities causing most of the world's tropical deforestation, benefits of forests, reasons for targeting tropical forests for industrial-scale commodity production, and the biggest environmental impact of the four main commodities produced in tropical forest areas. useful for students studying environmental science, biology, or ecology.
