Habitat loss

From the change wiki

Habitat loss refers to the destruction of any natural wild ecosystems, such as forest.

This causes extinctions and carbon emissions.

Most habitat loss is caused by agriculture.

  • How much CO2 is released for every km^2 of deforestation?
  • How much CO2 is released for every km^2 of destroyed grasslands?
  • Make a world map of all natural habitats recently destroyed
    • Could be some sort of "diff" between land-use maps from two different years, perhaps a decade apart
