Agony of Mother Earth (I) The Unstoppable Destruction of Forests
This is the first of a two-part series on how humankind has been

ROME, May 18 2017 (IPS) -

3.3 million hectares per year. While their steady destruction in many
Asian countries continues apace, deforestation of the world’s largest
tropical forest – the Amazon – increased 29 per cent from last year’s
numbers. And some of the most precious ecosystems in Africa are
threatened by oil, gas and mineral exploration and exploitation.
