Understanding AFOREST Techniques
In recent years, climate change has become an urgent issue that cannot be ignored. Studies show that global temperatures are rising at an unprecedented rate, with data indicating a 1.2-degree Celsius increase over the past century. Many experts believe immediate action is necessary to prevent catastrophic consequences. For example, local communities have seen increased flooding and extreme weather events, which highlight the real-world impact of environmental neglect. Some argue that economic growth should take precedence, but the overwhelming evidence suggests that sustainable development is essential for our future. As one conservationist states, 'If we do not act now, the future generations will inherit a planet in peril.'
