The world is connected
If someone asks you, "Do you think we should conserve forests?" You would probably say, "Yes." You may be especially interested in conserving forests in your own country.
What if conserving forests in your country causes deforestation in other countries?
Eric Lambin noticed that such an unfortunate situation actually exists in the world. He is a geographer from Belgium.
a has analyzed satellite images taken from space, has visited many places around the world to conduct surveys, and has seen environmental changes from a broad global perspective; activities that have shown him how people use land and affect the environment.
This caused him to notice that the preservation of forests in one country leads to the deforestation in another country.
