Forest fires and deforestation have become global environmental crises. Tropical rainforests, which hold the majority of Earth’s biodiversity, are under severe threat. The Amazon rainforest alone has lost nearly 17% of its forest cover over the past 60 years due to fires, monoculture farming, mining, and illegal logging. According to WWF reports, nearly 80% of the world’s most ecologically important forests habitats for species like orangutans, tigers, and elephants may face catastrophic damage by 2030 if current trends continue. Major deforestation hotspots include the Amazon, Borneo, Congo Basin, Greater Mekong, New Guinea, and Sumatra. Alongside deforestation, climate change, biodiversity loss, groundwater depletion, and ecosystem destruction highlight an alarming environmental crisis driven largely by human activity. This project reflects on the fragile relationship between humans and nature, emphasizing that environmental degradation ultimately threatens human survival itself.
