@Group2415 @DrDaveT viewing seaspiracy did you find many of the claims that it twisted the narrative and used questionable interviewing techniques to have any creedance behind them?Did you find it pressured the average Netflix viewer to think going vegan was the only way?Very interesting watch!

[Group23 @Group2313]

@lauragraham82 @DrDaveT However it does make for a very interesting outlook on solutions to the deforestation caused by cattle farming and I think it’s a very valid argument that can’t be ruled out! (3)

[Group23 @Group2313]

@lauragraham82 @DrDaveT I think as well that it has to be questioned the amount of agricultural land needed to sustain the amount of crop yield required to keep up with that demand also. And in looking at that we still have many other causes for environmental destruction that we are fighting now.(2)

[Group23 @Group2313]

@lauragraham82 @DrDaveT Personally I believe it’s a very valid argument when it comes to the beef industry in particular, before you even start including other agricultural ventures! Cattle farming being the biggest cause of deforestation globally. (1)

[Group23 @Group2313]

@Group2415 @DrDaveT Doing something in one area is better than doing nothing in all of them.
Just my personal opinion.

[Group23 @Group2313]

@Group2415 @DrDaveT how do you convince governments to sacrifice the financial loss for the environmental gain? (4)

[Group23 @Group2313]

@Group2415 @DrDaveT of dollars for grazing cattle on protected land. However, the change is yet to come. Referring back to the monetary aspect, when you have such big players in the field, such a high demand for beef and millions of money being brought into countries, (3)

[Group23 @Group2313]

@Group2415 @DrDaveT The beef industry is unsustainable and there has been many organisations voicing this opinion for many years. AgroSB owns multiple farms along the belt of the Amazon and they supply cattle to JBS. JBS is the worlds largest meat packing empire. AgroSB have been fined millions(2)

[Group23 @Group2313]

@Group2415 @DrDaveT Yes it is, however with poster space and previous research a choice had to be made but thank you for addressing the other issues! Personally, I don’t agree with any of it. However, the beef industry is worth trillions of dollars so we must come back to the monetary side. (1)

[Group23 @Group2313]

@Group252990906 @DrDaveT change constantly. I don’t imagine that within our lifetime we may see the full effect of replantation and the fight against deforestation but we can only hope that it doesn’t come too late and we don’t continue to see many of the wonderful species we have go extinct. (4)

[Group23 @Group2313]

@Group252990906 @DrDaveT from sustainable sources, Disney dropped their paper supplier after claims they were linked to deforestation and Charmin who claim to plant a tree for every one they use. After saying this, we have to account for the ever changing world that we live in and how practices (3)

[Group23 @Group2313]

@Group252990906 @DrDaveT Scotland. So far they’ve planted 6,000 native trees in the wilderness reserve. There are also a plethora of companies that operate globally who are making changes to their policies to fight against deforestation such as Unilever now only sourcing palm oil(2)

[Group23 @Group2313]

@Group252990906 @DrDaveT Hey! I believe it’s entirely possible to at least claw back some of the forests that have been lost. For example uk government has a target of “zero net carbon emissions” by 2050. In 2019 there was a project launched to restore the Caledonian Forest in the Highlands of(1)

[Group23 @Group2313]

@lauragraham82 @DrDaveT as greenpeace , current legislation will continue to improve and that harsher penalties will be enforced. Sorry that was so long! (5)

[Group23 @Group2313]

@lauragraham82 @DrDaveT factor. In 2018, deforestation in the Amazon continued due to the wealth of the companies that were under pressure for illegal deforestation allowing for an overruling of convictions and a very “hush hush” attitude. We hope that with continued voicing from organisations such(4)

[Group23 @Group2313]

@lauragraham82 @DrDaveT which has led to changes in their policies and how they work. Politically the best way to conserve forests is having them as “PA’s” or protected areas that cover 1/6 of global land. However, there is evidence to suggest that, like with every environmental issue, money is a(3)

[Group23 @Group2313]

@lauragraham82 @DrDaveT the illegal import of timber to the EU and they also continue to battle against the use of palm oil to help stop the deforestation currently going on in Indonesia. They have put many large companies such as Nike and McDonalds under criticism for deforestation in their practice(2)

[Group23 @Group2313]

@lauragraham82 @DrDaveT Morning! So most of the legislative change is driven by non-governmental organisations such as Greenpeace who have offices in 55 countries worldwide and one of their many missions is to have zero deforestation globally. They contribute such as campaigning for ten years to stop(1)

[Group23 @Group2313]

@Group252990906 @DrDaveT Hey! Based on the research that you did is there mounting evidence to suggest the WHO are on track to reaching their goal/is there data to suggest that eradication is becoming a possibility? Besides medical treatment, is there focus on making clean/filtered water more accessible?
