* [[En-en adult card 4 transportation|Transportation]] Road construction sometimes requires deforestation, but the one-dimensional aspect of the road makes it almost negligible compared to wide-scale agriculture-related deforestation. | * [[En-en adult card 4 transportation|Transportation]] Road construction sometimes requires deforestation, but the one-dimensional aspect of the road makes it almost negligible compared to wide-scale agriculture-related deforestation. | ||

* [[En-en adult card 12 carbon sinks|Carbon Sinks]] Participants often think that deforestation reduces carbon sinks. In reality, the impact is minimal because deforested areas represent a very small part of the total forest area. Moreover, a mature forest has reached its equilibrium and no longer absorbs carbon. Therefore, as mainly mature forests are deforested, this does not impact carbon sinks. On the other hand, the amount CO<sub>2</sub> released is very high. | * [[En-en adult card 12 carbon sinks|Carbon Sinks]] Participants often think that deforestation reduces carbon sinks.

* [[En-en adult card 15 radiative forcing|Radiative forcing]] When forests are cut down, a dark green surface is replaced by a light green one, which has a higher [[wikipedia:Albedo|albedo]] and therefore absorbs less energy. | * [[En-en adult card 15 radiative forcing|Radiative forcing]] When forests are cut down, a dark green surface is replaced by a light green one, which has a higher [[wikipedia:Albedo|albedo]] and therefore absorbs less energy. | ||
