In Deforestation and Palm Oil see how satellite imaging has revealed a surprising amount of forest removal across the globe. Much of the deforestation is driven by the demand for palm oil, which is found in many products. Deforestation reduces the number of plants that absorb carbon dioxide emissions and adds to the emissions through burning forests. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Climate Change - The Facts, a documentary that delves into the science of climate change and its far-reaching consequences.
In The Baka People Confront Deforestation and Disease, host Simon Reeve spends time with the Baka people in the Congo, who live peacefully in the rainforest. He learns their biggest challenges aren't from nature, but from medical issues like malaria and conflicts with neighboring people.

They share their struggles, including the long trek to get medical help and the violence they face from the Bantu. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Wilderness With Simon Reeve, an epic adventure into the heart of Earth’s last great wild areas, where nature is at its most beautiful and fragile.
In The Consequences of Deforestation: A Global Problem, host Simon Reeve accompanies conservationists in Belize who have had to resort to drastic measures to protect the forest and its wildlife. This video is excerpted from BBC's Incredible Journeys With Simon Reeve, a series that highlights one journalist’s travels across the globe and the diverse cultures and peoples he meets along the way.
