Textbook in PDF format Every day more of the world’s forests disappear. If a Tree Falls. The Global Impact of Deforestation by Nikki Tate is targeted to a younger audience (children below 12 years of age). Trees are cleared for agriculture, lost in wildfires and harvested for the valuable products they supply. Called the lungs of the planet, forests play a critical role in climate moderation. What happens when they’re gone? Are replanting and afforestation efforts helping? In If A Tree Falls: The Global Impact of Deforestation, author Nikki Tate gives an accessible and balanced look at forest practices throughout history, the growth of industry and the fight for preservation. Global deforestation affects us all. Find out what you can do to protect forests today and keep them healthy for future generations. This reader-friendly, informative nonfiction resource examines everything forest-related. A typical biome nonfiction title will focus on the animals that live there, plants that grow there, and geographic location. This text provides pertinent information about forests. Chapters explore deforestation throughout history and how methods for deforestation have advanced throughout the years. The effects of chopping down trees, especially at a high rate, are described as well as how it impacts the food sources and the animals who inhabit the forests. Readers are encouraged to use their newfound knowledge to participate in conservation and environmental activism. Boxes labeled "Tree Trivia" are peppered throughout the text, creating a pleasant break between sections. Full-color pictures with captions help readers visualize what they are reading.
