Solutions for the problem of deforestation

Deforestation is a really big problem all over the world.Some problems of deforestation are flooding, climate change, and erosion. As a result of deforestation, we are losing between 50 and 100 animal and plant species each day. These are some of the main effects of deforestation. One option is decreasing the need for the amount of products that are harvested from the rainforests. If all the countries enforced programs that used recycling. The need for disposable products would be gone and the loggers would not have a business. Other solutions involve money. Americans could settle for higher prices on the cash crops that are imported to this country for cheap prices especially that burger restaurants at the local fast food joint. If Americans are willing to pay more, corporations such as those in the fast food industry can stop using other countries to farm the rainforests for the supplies of the materials they need to make their products. There are many preservation sites that you can visit to donate a certain amount of money which can be very helpful to saving the earths forest. Money donated: $10 saves 2,500 square feet $25 saves 6,250 $50 saves 12,500 square feet $100 saves 25,000 square feet of the rainforest. Another solution to deforestation would be that there should be a limited amount of trees that can be cut down.  These are many solutions for the problem of deforestation.
