Amazon tree-felling blamed for polluting UK rivers

Tree-felling in the Amazon rainforest is linked to pollution in UK rivers like the Wye, per a report connecting imported soy used in livestock feed to waterway issues in Wales. The report from Size of Wales and WWF Cymru emphasizes the harm caused by soy-derived phosphorus runoff from animal manure. Urging for responsible consumption, it proposes changes in food procurement and farming practices to combat deforestation and reduce reliance on imported soy. Wales' efforts to address these challenges, like Monmouthshire council's deforestation-free initiatives in school meals, showcase positive strides toward sustainable practices.
