Background: In 2050, the earth is only covered in 15% forests, half of the forests of today. Of the forests that were cut, 75% were removed to make room for farmland or for mining. Desertification has occurred in many deforested areas. The other 25% of deforestation occurred to make room for urban sprawl for an expanding population. Temperatures have risen globally and many species of
trees can no longer thrive in the hot temperatures.
