As part of environmental studies within our quilting group we explored the theme “Forest”. Human society and much of life on Earth cannot survive without healthy, thriving forests. Uncontrollable deforestation leads to the destruction of the ecosystem and has many terrible consequences, such as ·rise of the level of CO2 in the atmosphere which leads to the global warming. ·major floods, new swamps ·extensive forest fires ·dramatic decrease in the number of species of plants and animals How can we help our planet? ·we can plant new trees and therefore increase the surface of forest ·safeguard the natural reserves ·prevent forest fires ·minimise wood waste and develop new ways of recycling wood ·develop eco-tourism.
