DEFORESTATION
13 million hectares
of the world’s forests

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) released its 2005 Global Forest Resources Assessment

DEFORESTATIONIn Nigeria 81% of its
original forest cover is now permanently lost
Countries like India, Mexico, Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Myanmar, China, Sri Lanka, the Congo and Ghana have lost much more than 50% of their rainforest cover.

WAR and PEACEUS$275 000 000 is spent for three tests of missile defence system.
This amount of money could be enough to stock 204 500 medical clinics around the world…
… for a WHOLE YEAR!!!

WAR and PEACE
US $350 000 000 is spent on
six Trident II missiles.
This amount is enough to build wells in Africa…
…to provide water to 65 million people

WAR and PEACEThis same amount could be used to…
Immunise over 134 million children in the world…
…against diseases such as:
• Measles
• Typhoid
• Tuberculosis

IN SUMMARY…Statistics could be used to:
1. Make a stronger impact.
Each day, 25 000 children DIE due to POVERTY!
2. Make generalisations more factual.
13 million hectares of the world’s forest is LOST each year!
3. Predict trends.
The Arctic region could be ice-free by
2040!
4. Make comparisons.
The US$350 million spent on 6 missiles could
be enough to provide wells in Africa to
65 million people
