Since 1970, we humans have been able to wipe out half of all wildlife on this globe. We are in a mass extinction period right now, which is caused intentionally by us.

The science will show us the biggest reason for deforestation. Deforestation is not happening for urban sprawl, building roads, buildings, or lumber. The biggest reason for clearing the land is cattle grazing and growing crops for cattle feed.

Brazil has the highest number of activists murdered in any other country. And it's because their indigenous people are speaking up about what's happening to their own land: cattle ranchers and the people who are growing cattle feed are selling to big corporations. They are the ones who stand to make money.

When you become vegan, you're using less land.
