| Description: |
Tropical forests all over the world are at risk. Two of the main threats are the deforestation for arable land and climate change. Here scientists compared the losses due to deforestation with those that would result in extreme climate change scenarios in Ecuador. Although global warming is likely to change the distribution of species, deforestation will result in the loss of more dry forests than predicted by climate change damage.
