What does deforestation have to do with the emission of CO2?

That’s easy: Trees absorb and store carbon from the air. When a forest is burnt down (for instance for agriculture reasons) not only will the carbon stored in these trees be dispersed back in the air but also there will be less trees left that can absorb and store carbon. This means more air pollution from CO2!

To raise awareness for this question Bart de piraat Animations and Triggerfilm are commisioned by the WWF in Netherlands - also called ‘Wereld Natuur Fonds’ - to develop an animation about this situation.

This animation is being created as we speak and will be published within a few weeks on the website of Wereld Natuur Fonds.

Here’s some artwork to get you warm over this one:
