Where are our forests? Forest rate is still on the decline by 1.9 percent annually. Logging is the threat to all rainforests in the Third World.In the Philippines, too much of the forest has already been lost because of logging. 80% of the world's forest are gone. In 2001, less than 8% of our country was covered by original tropical rainforest! Less that 100 years ago this was still 70%! The deforestation has to be stopped to save the biodiversity and the productivity of the forest as a natural resource.IF NOT, WE WILL HAVE NO RAINFOREST LEFT WITHIN 15 YEARS!
