When consumption here leads to deforestation elsewhere<\/h1>\n<\/div>
<\/div><\/div>

Since 2001, 95% of deforestation is caused by agriculture<\/b>, of which one third results from international trade. This deforestation is taking place mostly in tropical countries, which supply major economic hubs in commercial circuits inherited from colonization. <\/span><\/p>\n

In those destructions, Europe carries considerable weight<\/b>, since it is responsible for 16% of this deforestation resulting from international trade. Relative to its population, it is by far the first region responsible for this <\/span> imported deforestation.<\/b><\/p>\n

Imported deforestation is the deforestation caused to support the living standards and the consumption of a country. Almost all of this imported deforestation in Europe stems from the usage of only seven raw materials : soy, palm oil, wood and wood derivatives, cacao, coffee, cattle (meat and leather) and rubber. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>
