3 resist microclimate
change
DEFORESTATION

Conversion of

forest to

another land

use or the long-

term reduction

of the tree

canopy cover
 CAUSES

1 illegal land

the actions humanity takes.

 THE NEW YOU

Corruption has appeared throughout the land and sea by [reason

of] what the hands of people have earned so He may let them

taste part of [the consequence of] what they have done that

perhaps they will return [to righteousness]. Ar-Rum: 41
