Bernie’s Ways to Help Prevent Deforestation – The Bolala Forest Fable

Deforestation is the loss of forest areas across the world that we lose for other uses such as agricultural croplands, urbanization, or mining activities. Do you know why deforestation is so harmful to the environment?

The Bolala Forest Fable tells the story of a mythical beast that helps protect the world from deforestation. Unfortunately, the Bolala doesn’t exist, which means it is our job to protect our forests before it is too late.
