SEA LEVEL RISE

Sea level rise is climate-induced change in extreme wind and wave conditions that influence extreme water levels in some regions. #ResilientSocieties

GULLY EROSION

Felling trees results in field runoff gullies which destroy the soil structure as well as reduce the residue cover, leaving the soil surface more prone to erosion and runoff.

DEFORESTATION

Deforestation is the removal of trees so as to clear the land for agriculture, grazing or using the trees as timber for commercial purposes such as construction or manufacturing.
