Fire
Each year, humans burn rainforests to clear the land for farming and pasture. These practices make the forest even more vulnerable to future blazes, heavily contributing to climate change and increased rates of extintion. An astounding 80% of the world’s species live in tropical rainforests. 50% of the planet’s forests have already disapeared due to human activity, bringing species to extintion at 10.000 times the natural rate. This phenomena is our planet’s sixth mass extintion and humans are responsible.
