Make forested areas protected so people can't cut down so many trees.
As a result of looking in class at deforestation, we have discovered that trees are declining at a rapid rate.We have decided that the number of trees being cut down for wooden objects such as building materials, need to be decreased.
Across the world, annually, we are losing 18.7 million acres of forests. Due to this we are left with only 3000 wild tigers across the world. It has been shown that the amazon rainforest has lost 17% of its trees in the past 50 years, due to forest conversion. It is also shown that trees are our carbon sinks, therefore proving that they inhale the carbon we can't. If they can't inhale this carbon it will be let off into the atmosphere. 15% of all greenhouse gases are due to deforestation.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand you're concerned about deforestation, but we're not sure what specific action you'd like Government and Parliament to take. In particular, we're not sure whether you'd like something like a new law to protect forests in the UK or whether you'd like a specific action to protect forests abroad, such as rainforests.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, you could start a new petition asking the UK Government or Parliament to work with the EU to make it illegal to import wood and wood products into the EU unless they are from sustainable and legal sources, if that's what you'd like to happen.
