Comparing different places (amazon, congo basin, SE Asia)
Deforestation has increased for all of the areas
In 2009 deforestation in SE Asia became the highest in the world
Deforestation in Congo is much lower than in other locations, but recently have been rising
Why do the rates of deforestation vary from place to place and change over time?
If there are useful resources which people need from a certain area they may cut more trees down to clear the land.
in some places people are trying harder to protect the rainforest
Some places are more remote and not easy to access than others
Richer places may be able to deforest more than poorer places
If there are growing populations they may cut down more to supply jobs and resources for more people
Cities and towns surrounding rainforests will keep expanding depending on the population and therefore there will be a greater need for resources.
