Answer: The Second Crusade was the second major crusade launched from Europe, called in 1145 in response to the fall of the County of Edessa the previous year. Edessa was the first of the Crusader states to have been founded during the First Crusade (1095–1099), and was the first to fall. The Second Crusade was announced by Pope Eugene III, and was the first of the crusades to be led by European kings, namely Louis VII of France and Conrad III of Germany, with help from a number of other important European nobles. The armies of the two kings marched separately across Europe and were somewhat hindered by Byzantine emperor Manuel I Comnenus; after crossing Byzantine territory into Anatolia, both armies were separately defeated by the Seljuk Turks. Louis and Conrad and the remnants of their armies reached Jerusalem and, in 1148, participated in an ill-advised attack on Damascus. The crusade in the east was a failure for the crusaders and a great victory for the Muslims. It would ultimately lead to the fall of Jerusalem and the Third Crusade at the end of the 12th century.
The only success came outside of the Mediterranean, where Flemish, Frisian, Norman, English, Scottish, and some German crusaders, on the way by ship to the Holy Land, fortuitously stopped and helped capture Lisbon in 1147. Meanwhile, in Eastern Europe, the first of the Northern Crusades began with the intent of forcibly converting pagan tribes to Christianity, and these crusades would go on for centuries.

Answer is : The size of the world's tropical forests will be reduced considerably.
The map let us appreciate the danger of forests Brazil,Colombia,Peru, (America) the Democratic Republic of Congo,(Africa) Indonesia, and Myanmar. (Asia)
The deforestation rates in South America each year tremendously grow, where the Amazon located in Brazil is the most critical area to suffer if the rhytm continues. In fact, the Amazon is the biggest deforestation area in the world nowadays and direct interventions is urgent and necessary to prevent a great ecological tragedy where there is no turning back.
In Africa. the area endangered are mainly the forests of the Democratic Republic of the Congo that stretch into Central Africa. The forests of the Central African region will continue to suffer a great loss if no policies are taken as well as intervention to reverse or reforest the regions that currently could be also by human artifical means repaired. In South East Asia the sitation continues to be quite similar to the rest of the world.
Estimates calculate by year 2030, practically all major forests in the world will have been lost, and as a result uncountable numbers of animal and other species are condemned to extinction.
