This educational wall chart explains deforestation and its impact on the environment, ecosystems, and climate. It defines deforestation as the logging of trees and the removal of other plants to clear land for farming, settlements, and infrastructure. The chart highlights how forests are being destroyed at an alarming rate and explains the long term consequences of these actions.

One section visually explores an intact forest landscape, clearly labelling forest layers such as the emergent layer, canopy, understory, forest floor, buttress roots, and stilt roots. This helps learners understand forest structure and how different plant layers support biodiversity. A comparison is made with deforested land, showing processes such as burning, logging, erosion, desertification, and the loss of fertile topsoil.

The wall chart explains how deforestation contributes to increased carbon dioxide levels, reduced oxygen production, and rising global temperatures. It also illustrates how forests prevent soil erosion by holding soil in place and regulating water flow. A section outlines major causes of deforestation, including slash and burn farming, cattle ranching, over harvesting, and plantation agriculture.

Additional educational elements include a hands on activity demonstrating acid and alkaline reactions and a section suggesting actions to reduce deforestation. This wall chart also works effectively as a poster for geography, environmental science, and sustainability education.

Our wallcharts are engineered for durability and educational impact, designed to withstand the rigors of both classroom and home environments.
