   Over time countries trace a "forest transition curve". They start in poverty with the land covered in trees. As they get richer, they fell the forest and the curve drops 【C2】______ until it reaches a low point when people decide to protect whatever they have left. Then the curve rises as  【C3】______ begins.

If Brazil had kept on felling trees as rapidly as it was cutting them down last year, it would, by 2023, have put an extra 3.2 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. As a way of helping the environment, protecting trees is  【C9】______ to beat. It is in everyone’s 【C10】______ to find out which forest policies work—and back them. [br] 【C3】
