What is our goal? To encourage the Hong Kong government to raise awareness of the consequences of deforestation.We hope the government will support our cause and help reduce deforestation. What is deforestation? Deforestation refers to the cutting, clearing, and removal of forests (Kricher, 1997). Why is it so important that we stop deforestation? - It causes floods, draughts, soil erosion, landslides and global warming. - It reduces biodiversity and many animals will become extinct. - It disrupt the water and carbon cycle, two of the most important cycles in our lives.
