Tree Me with Carbon Dioxide
Deforestation, forested lands are removed by humans and they're converted to non-forest use, is a severe issue which speeds up climate change and other drastic environmental effects. The project was focused on the relation between the removal of trees and the emission of carbon dioxide in each state of the US.

Issue Deforestation is the intentional clearing of forests for purposes like agriculture, cattle farming and the extraction of raw materials such as palm oil and timber. These resources are used in products like food, fuel and so on. From 2001 to 2020, the US lost around 104 million acres of forest, leading to a 15% decrease in tree cover.
