The Danish group based their presentation at the Granada meeting on the following figures:

Deforestation - a part of the climate discussion !

A simulated chance of the climate:

The four graphes represent dec-feb, marts-may, june-aug, sept-nov.

Man-made causes:
Contrails from the aircrafts is a discussion coming up in the climate debate.

We aspecially studied the deforestation in Rondonia, Brazil.

The next 3 satelite photos show the development from 1975-1992.

The background of deforestation is not only caused by an economical demand for tropical trees, but the growth of population in Brazil since 1970 created a big amount of people asking for land.
 
 
Fig. 25: The population pyramide from Brazil 1970 shows the big young generations coming up.

indicating a total fertility of 2 children per family.

 
 
The next figures shows that the demand for land by demographic reasons can be suspected to be decreasing.
