__ Deforestation __

2 facts that I learned about Deforestation are as followed:
 * Rainforests used to cover 14% of the earth, but now it only covers 6%.
 * Several lengths of football fields of rainforests are lost every second.

2 questions I have about the Forest Defenders are:
 * 1) What are some reasons that people cut down trees?
 * 2) What are some ways we can prevent Deforestation?

//__ Answers: __//
 * 1) Reasons people cut down trees are because they get paper to use for school or work, and make room for new things to build.
 * 2) We can reuse and recycle, and not cut down as many trees.
