Rainforest deforestation
Rainforests are being cut down at the rate of approximately 20 football pitches every minute! Choose and fill out one of these templates to explain what is happening. Make use of the information in the Guidance notes.
Discussion points
- Brazil has the highest rate of deforestation in the world. Africa and southeast Asia are suffering badly too.
- There are some global organisations which help to protect the rainforests such as WWF and Greenpeace.
- Some of the products on sale in this country come from - or contain ingredients from - regions that used to be rainforest. Consumers should look for the Rainforest Alliance badge on packaging and avoid buying food with palm oil in, unless it is marked as being produced sustainably.
