Just four commodities—beef, soy, palm oil, and wood products—drive the majority of global deforestation. And consumers can help stop it.

PIRatE Lab's insight:
As I was getting a ride home from the car repair shop today, the shuttle had an interesting radio show on. It was a discussion with a person of a particular political persuasion saying how "doom and gloom" and "naysayers" get too much press and are a part of the problem with the world these days.
While we can of course swerve too far down the "world is ending" path, simply saying that key drivers of degradation are not happening is a childish or cynical ploy. But one example of the challenges we face is this brief overview of drivers of forest conversion to human-dominated landscapes.
While I generally do not like these "info graphics," in cases such as the dork on the radio, these might be the right level of tone and complexity.
