Deforestation causes extinction. But why would we care? Why is it important that we don't kill our forests so that we don't kill the animals who live in it?

This picture expresses so much and it made me think how bad the situation already is. We always think deforestation is an issue that might influence our next generation, but truth is every second 1.5 acres of rainforest are destroyed. Deforestation is here and now, the only difference is that in 20 years we won't be able to as much to stop it, because it will be too late.

"Money wasn't all that important to me. What was really important was payback time to nature!" -Lloyd Maanyina

This is a beautiful video about the deforestation in Zambia, showing that many people in poor countries need to cut down trees to survive because there is no other way to get money. However this video shows the wonderful idea of a man giving back what he took from nature. He's a true inspiration to me, he showed me that it is not too late to still safe our nature.

"A tree is beautiful, but what's more, it has a right to life; like water, the sun and the stars, it is essential. Life on earth is inconceivable without trees. Forests create climate, climate influences peoples' character, and so on and forth. There can be neither civilization nor happiness if forests crash down under the axe, if the climate is harsh and severe, if people are also harsh and severe... What a terrible future!" 

~Anton Pavlovich Chekhov

Anton Pavlovich Chekhov was a Russian physician, dramatists and author who is considered to be among the greatest writers of short stories in history.
