2. Environmental Sustainability Issue For the past few decades, there has been countries under going recovery of their place they call home. These countries have been going years without proper hygiene, water, or even a stable home. There has been such a lack in education that no one can teach anyone anything. With the rapid spread of diseases and Aids in these countries people are steady dying leaving these countries with no hope.

The rate of deforestation shows signs of decreasing Oceania South- Eastern Asia Latin America Latin America & the Caribbea n CIS & Europe Transition countries of South- Eastern Europe Caribbea n Sub- Sahar an Africa Eastern Asia Souther n Asia CIS, Asia Western Asia Norther n Africa 1990 685752 483026311614431 2010 63494847483330282014431 Over the last decade nearly 13 million hectares have been lost due to natural causes each year but this doesn’t top the 1990’s with their 16 million hectares lost yearly. Since 2000 the net loss of forest has reduced from 8.3 million annually to 5.2 annually.

6. Evidence to Proposed Solution Between 2000 and 2010, some 13 million hectares of forests were converted annually to other uses, such as agriculture, or lost through natural causes, down from 16 million hectares per year during the 1990s, according to the assessment which surveyed 233 countries and areas. Not only have countries improved their forest policies and legislation, they have also allocated forests for use by local communities and indigenous peoples and for the conservation of biological diversity and other environmental functions - Eduardo Rojas, Assistant Director-General of FAO's Forestry Department

7. Final Summation To sum everything up, these issues have been going on for decades there’s come a point were the nation leaders need to step up and do more than what they have been doing to save these countries instead of wasting money on funding unnecessary causes. These people have been suffering long enough even if United States have to sacrifice anything, I’m sure we can afford to do so and still maintain as a country.
