The
statistics paint a grim picture.
According to the World Resources Institute,
more than 80 percent of the Earth’s natural forests
already have been destroyed. Up to 90 percent of West Africa’s
coastal rain forests have disappeared since 1900. Brazil
and Indonesia, which contain the world’s two largest
surviving regions of rain forest, are being stripped at
an alarming rate by logging, fires, and land-clearing for
agriculture and cattle-grazing. Preliminary findings show
that across the boreal, from Canada to Russia, the southern
part of boreal forest has been substantially affected by
industrial-scale land use. This is especially true in Norway,
Sweden, Finland, European Russia and the southern provinces
of Canada. Almost no large intact forests remain here.
The
loss of living space
Among the obvious consequences
of deforestation is the loss of living space. Seventy percent
of the Earth’s land animals and plants reside in forests.
But the harm doesn’t stop there. Rain forests help
generate rainfall in drought-prone countries elsewhere.
Studies have shown that destruction of rain forests in such
West African countries as Nigeria, Ghana, and Côte
d’Ivoire may have caused two decades of droughts in
the interior of Africa, with attendant hardship and famine.
Deforestation
may have catastrophic global effects as well. 
Trees are natural consumers
of carbon dioxide-one of the greenhouse gases whose buildup
in the atmosphere contributes to global warming. Destruction
of trees not only removes these “carbon sinks,”
but tree burning and decomposition pump into the atmosphere
even more carbon dioxide, along with methane, another major
greenhouse gas.
What
can Fuvi do for the environment?
Being able to be used many
times, Fuvi Coppha saves thousands of trees cut down for
formwork.
Manufactured from special materials and ingredients with
state of the art technology, Fuvi Formwork is durable. It
can resist other naturally occurring conditions like sun,
rain etc. Fuvi Formwork has a reuse life of over 100 times.
