Deforestation

Imagine you are an animal that depends on its habitat for safety, shelter, and warmth. Now, humans want this all taken away in a course of a few hours for unnecessary resources. What if they use these resources knowing it would end up becoming waste for their profit? How would you feel as that animal? Instead of Humans being extremely selfish and raid natural animal habitats for resources, which will decrease many species of animals in existence, the resource companies that want to destroy for…

start saving them before they’re gone all together. From widespread tropical fires, deforestation, and unknown amounts of plant and animal extinctions, known or not, the world is starting to call in protection and justice. Globally the world is covered in more than 10 billion acres of forests, but 15 million acres are cut down each year. Every situation has its sides and both need to be heard. The pros of deforestation is it creates space for growth of cities and developments. We as a society…

forests as well (Chomitz et al., 2007). In many countries government have nominal control of forests but are too weak to effectively regulate their use. This can lead to a tragedy of the commons where forest resources are degraded. In frontier areas deforestation is a common practice and legalized way of declaring claim to land and securing tenure (Schneider,…

because they have the right environment for them. Even though they get a ton of business the effects of chocolate to Côte d’Ivoire is devastating. I believe chocolate is bad for Côte d’Ivoire because it's causing deforestation , child labor and unfair pay. Cocoa is causing deforestation in the environment of Côte d’Ivoire. A "significant portion of the Ivory Coast's protected forests have been chopped down over the past few years to make room for illegal cocoa farming" , leaving 74% of the…

Land degradation due to deforestation and frequent drought due to variation in rainfall can lead to desertification. This is where arid lands lose productiveness and become more desert like. The Sahel of West Africa is located just south of the Sahara desert is an example of a region that underwent desertification beginning in 1968. The desertification of the Sahel lead to failed rains and a long period of drought, resulting in famine in this region. This famine lead to a major loss in…

are close to extinct because they are threatened by deforestation. This human acts doesn 't follow Taylor 's 4 duties which we have to other living beings (Non-Maleficence, Non-Interference, Fidelity, Restitutive Justice). Thus,…

Ever wonder what the world would be like with even less rainforests or possibly none at all? Well, if tropical rainforest deforestation doesn’t lessen then the world will soon find out. The rainforests are being cut down at an immensely dangerous rate and little to nothing is being done to grow the forests back up again. The rainforests are being destroyed and the impact of it is beginning to become awfully serious. Human beings must start using the rainforests more sustainably and efficiently…

farms and cattle ranches. At the beginning of the 21st century, around 40% of the country was still covered by primary forests. 50 years earlier, it was 70% Estimates vary, but deforestation is thought to claim up to 123,500 acres of forest a year in Panama – a loss of slightly more than one percent per year. Deforestation is proceeding very rapidly in the Colón, Darién, and Bocas del Toro provinces. Panama is a vital link in the Mesoamerican Biological Corridor, which connects the ecosystems of…

The themes that I noted in Campbell’s book were ecological, history, roadbuilding, deforestation, loss, disease and death, local knowledge, and respect. In the “Preface,” Campbell discusses his background on ecological studies in Brazil, explains how he has integrated himself in the culture, and provides discussion on factors that have led to deforestation and loss/destruction - soil fertility, species, language, and pure indigenous (cultural/ethnic mix has become the…
