Reference to research published by Eleanor Warren-Thomas in an article in Yale Environment 360 discussing the increasing demand for natural rubber resulting in extensive tropical deforestation: 

"Early this year, Eleanor Warren-Thomas, a conservation scientist at Bangor University in Wales, and colleagues estimated that up to 13 million acres more land will be needed to meet rising rubber demand by 2030. And that, she says, is before considering the potential impact of the switch to electric vehicles."
