Deforestation: 36 fields/minute
2009-10-23 14:40
Buenos Aires - The equivalent of 36 football fields are being stripped from the world's forests each minute, the environmental group World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) said in a statement released here on Thursday.
The group, presenting its figures during a UN-organised World Forestry Congress held in the Argentine capital, called for "net deforestation of zero" by 2020.
Rodney Taylor, in charge of the WWF's forestry programme, said the call underlined the "urgency" of confronting deforestation threats "to maintain the planet's health".
The appeal was not a call for deforestation to be stopped completely, but rather that the devastation of forests be compensated with forest renewal initiatives.
According to the WWF, the pace of deforestation "generates around 20% of global emissions of greenhouse gases".
