Describe two ways that humans have contributed to the deforestation of the area. (2 points)
Woodcutting of forest reserves and the development of cocoa and palm oil plantations being among the main causes, together with mining.
Describe how deforestation has impacted the environment of this area. (3 points)
The study shows that changing land use from forest to cropland reduces rainfall over neighboring trees by around 50% due to changes in the surface temperature which affects the formation of rain clouds.
Describe how deforestation has impacted the quality of life of the people living there. (3 points)
The most immediate impact of deforestation occurs at the local level with the loss of ecological services provided by tropical rainforests and related ecosystems. Such habitats afford humans valuable services such as erosion prevention, flood control, water filtration, fisheries protection, and pollination—functions that are particularly important to the world's poorest people, who rely on natural resources for their everyday survival. Forest loss also reduces the availability of renewable resources like timber, medicinal plants, nuts and fruit, and game.
