United Nations, 1994. Sponsel, Leslie E., et al. Columbia University Press, 1996. This book talks about the dangers of deforestation on the world. It gives data about how the forest protects the soil from erosion and how soil erosion effects the worlds sources of energy and water supplies.
Deforestation also contributes to the reduction of rainfall and bad climate situations.
It also states what would happen if the polar ice caps started to melt and the amount of money the world would have to keep forking out to try ad save the coastal areas. I like how it talks about the connection between every species of plant or animal and how each one is linked with another. This takes away from biodiversity. I also noticed some information about the resources, such as medicines, that the rainforests supply to everyone. Sutton, S.L., et al.
