Hello, Welcome and Thank You

You may be wondering why I'm already thanking you in the title of the first post. Well, by visiting this blog, you have shown that you care, not only about our rainforests, but also for the future of the planet.

It is said that, at today's rate of deforestation, all of the world's rainforests will have been depleted by 2060, thereby depriving millions upon millions of animals of their natural habitat and sending the Earth into complete and utter chaos. Of course, it is not just the animals and plants that will be affected - the effects of this will get to us humans, too. Let's take a look at the Amazon Rainforest as an example: it generates a whopping 25% of the planet's oxygen. If that alone were to be wiped out, we would have a major influx of CO2 that would normally be converted into oxygen lingering in the atmosphere. More CO2 means more greenhouse gases; and more greenhouse gases mean an even hotter planet. Most living organisms, let alone humans, aren't equipped for that kind of terrain.

With all that said, all hope is not lost - we just need to start combating this issue as united and as urgently as possible if we were to have any chance of succeeding. This is my contribution. I know that I'm just a 15 year old with not much of an influence on the world, but I plan to include some bigger names to help me out with this project (I will be talking to WWF Indonesia about the possibility of mutual sponsorship). Hopefully, this will all work out and we can all find a way to pitch in so the world can last for a lot longer than just 2060.

Again, hello, welcome and thank you,
