Source #2: The Guardian article – “Deforestation Is A Political Issue That Needs To Be Addressed Urgently”
This source discusses how current strategies towards tackling deforestation within countries worldwide are often inadequate due lack of commitment from governments who are unwilling to make meaningful changes needed if we want real progress when it comes to protecting our forests. It then goes on to explain why challenging state attitudes towards environment is essential if we want long-term success when trying tackle this complex problem before its too late. This piece will be helpful for my project because it highlights existing issues facing efforts combat global degradation while also offering ideas on how we can create sustainable societies free from destruction caused by unchecked development.
Source #3: United Nations Forum On Forests - “Forests In A Changing Climate: Summary Of Technical Report By IPCC Working Group III On Mitigation Of Climate Change”
This source focuses on various topics related to forestry management around the world such as carbon sequestration, land restoration and biodiversity conservation using data gathered by experts from multiple countries over past years. It then offers suggestions for ways we can mitigate these problems or take adaptation actions necessary in order cope with drastic changes our planet is currently undergoing due human activities like burning fossil fuels or large-scale deforestation. This material will be important for my project since it provides a comprehensive understanding of what needs attention when trying respond appropriately so that I can use these concepts when creating artworks aimed at bringing awareness about ways we can stop further damage done by climate change
