Photo by Ed Kashi/VII: Tavy, or burning of the forest to clear for planting, is illegal but local farmers in #Madagascar continue to do this despite the massive reductions of their forests. It is estimated that each year more than 1.5 billion tons of carbon dioxide are released into the atmosphere from #deforestation, mainly the cutting and burning of forests, resulting in a loss of over 30 million acres of forest. #climatechange
