Moreover, it suggests that standing tropical forests help cool the average global temperature by more than 1 °C or 1.8 °F. [24] [25] Deforestation of tropical forests may risk triggering tipping points in the climate system and of forest ecosystem collapse which would also have effects on climate change. [26] [27] [28] [29]
But 70–90% of today's warm-water coral reefs will disappear even if warming is kept to 1.5 °C (2.7 °F). [ 33 ] : 179 For example, Caribbean coral reefs – which are biodiversity hotspots – will be lost within the century if global warming continues at the current rate.
Forest recovery resulting in net increases in forest extent can occur by means of spontaneous regeneration, active planting, or both. [11] [12]There are two main paths in reforestation, one emerging from economic development and another from forest scarcity. [12]
Deforestation in the city of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil's Rio de Janeiro state, 2009. Deforestation or forest clearance is the removal and destruction of a forest or stand of trees from land that is then converted to non-forest use.

The EF 35mm f / 1.4L II USM is a successor of the EF 35mm f / 1.4L USM. It was announced at the 27th of August 2015 and is available since October same year. [1] The EF 35mm f / 1.4L II USM lens is the first lens in Canon line up to use a Blue Spectrum Refractive Optics element (BR element) to reduce the chromatic aberration at the blue end of the spectrum.

(SOUNDBITE) (English) FULL GROWN CO-FOUNDER AND DIRECTOR, GAVIN MUNRO, SAYING: "Instead of force-growing a tree for 50 years and then cutting it down, the idea is to grow the tree into the shape ...
Carbon emissions from deforestation is an important issue to look at with the increasing problem of global warming.Currently, about 4% of B.C.′s total green house gas (GHG) yearly emissions are from deforestation, which is quite a low percentage compared to B.C.'s total GHG emissions, and works out to be about 6,200 hectares of forest land is converted to non-forest use per year.
