“Forests cover 31% of the land area on our planet.”(Deforestation | Threats | WWF). With the the prevalence of deforestation, it messes up animal living because the trees are the animals homes and without the trees the animals do not have homes. The WFF (World Wildlife Fund) has been working for over fifty years to help stop or slow down deforestation. The earth is under a threat for losing much of our forest. Humans are also affected by the loss of…

rainforests are also home to indigenous people, who depend on the rainforests for their resources for survival. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), a whole 60 million indigenous people are wholly dependent on the forests for survival. Many of such people have been living in these rainforests for thousands of years. The rainforests…

Hummingbirds are very fascinating creatures and differ in various ways from other birds. There are more than three-hundred species of hummingbirds. Hummingbirds play a very important role in the ecosystem. Hummingbirds are pollinators and control insects. Hummingbirds can hover in mid-air why consuming nectar from deep flowers. The male humming bird contributes very little in reproduction. Human activities are responsible for some of the deaths of these magnificent species. Hummingbirds are…

BIOLOGYOF TARO LEAF BLIGHT (Phytophthora colocasiae Racib) - A REVIEW ABSTRACT Taro is a tropical tuber crop highly valued in developing countries. It is mostly susceptible to Phytophthora colocasiae, a leaf blight disease (TLB) causing a 25%-50% loss in yield. The pathogen results not only in reduction in vigor, quality and yield but also constitute a barrier to international exchange of germplasm. The warm, humid days, cool and wet nights of the tropics are ideal for reproduction and…

Biodiversity is Threatened The animals that live in the rainforests and forests are dependant on the many different species that live there. They are also dependant on the trees and plants that grow in their areas. When deforestation happens, it tears away the plants and trees, which in turn, chases away or kills the animals living there. As the habitat is ripped away, the original species living there struggle to live while other species could move in and take over the rest of the land, killing…

why the the Cattlers shouldn’t be in the forests before the cows start to eat the people light a fire that usually goes off in the the rest of the forest that should be unscaved. The cattle are destroying the forests plus the rivers are being contaminated also. Cattle are eating the grass all the way down to a nub, and the cattle take up 80% of the deforested areas. Basically the forest is being leveled by the cattle. “Illegal loggers send teams into the forest to identify these trees, and then…

large influence on many different environmental issues we have today such as climate change and carbon emissions. Over a twelve year period that ended in 2012, 1.1 million km2 of tropical forest was lost, with the rate of forest loss increasing during this span. One of the largest and most biodiverse tropical forests’ in the world is the Amazon, covering an area of 5.5 million square kilometers and shared by nine countries. Brazil holds the majority of it, over 60%. It also, according to most…

layer of soil has formed over the top and is supporting a lush, almost jungle-like deciduous forest housing several different species of trees and even some rare species such as sassafras and hackberry trees. This park also has many sand beaches due to it being on the coastline and many large cattail marshes. In my poster, the spotlight is on the marsh boardwalk, leading to one of the many deciduous forests in the park, this is also one of the few remaining marshes left in all of Canada due to…

One and a half acres of forest is cut down every second. It is estimated that within 100 years there will be no rainforests. Since 70% of the world’s flora and fauna live in forests, these species are rapidly going extinct because of such a high deforestation rate of their habitats. Over 121 natural remedies can be found in the Amazon Rainforest which…

The forest provides not only timber and fuel but also beneficial medicinal herb and other vegetations. Furthermore, the forests can be resting areas to people, and it plays an important role in generating the oxygen, as well as reducing an impact of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Nonetheless, according to Live Science, the main causes of cutting off forests are “[F]or making more land available for housing and create room for cattle…
