In 1950, 25 percent of the Earth’s land surface had been covered with forest, and less than twenty - five years later the amount of forest land was reduced to 20 percent. This decrease from 25 percent to 20 percent from 1950 to 1973 represents as about 20 million square kilometers of forests. Predictions are that an additional 20 million square kilometers of forest land will be lost by 2020. The majority of deforestation is occuring in tropical forests in developing countries, fueled by the developing countries’ need for increased agricultural land and the desire on the part of developed countries to import wood and wood products. More than 90 per cent of the plywood used in the United States, for example, is imported from developing countries with tropical rain forests. By the mid – 1980s, solutions to this expanding problem were being sought, in the form of attemps to establish an international regulatory organization to oversee the use of tropical forests. 33.

Make the readers aware of a worsening world problem. d. Blame developing countries for deforestation. 34. How much of the earth’s land surface was covered by forests in 1950? a. more than 25 percent b. less than 25 percent b. 25 percent c. 20 percent 35. It can be inferred from the passage that a. 20 million square kilometers of forest land have been reduced so far. b. 20 million square kilometers of forest land will be reduced 2020. c. 40 million square kilometers of forest land will have been reduced by 2020. d. 20 million square kilometers of forest land will have been reduced by 2020. 36.
