Deforestation

species of fish. This means that the Amazon is home to over 45,000 animal species and plant species that humans are killing by the minute. In fact, by the time this presentation is over 200 football fields worth of trees would be torn down. Deforestation is the permanent destruction of the forest in order to make the land available for other uses. Roughly…

The succeeding project is an accumulation of articles that focused on the effects of deforestation and the taken determinations to reverse the process with the use of reforestation. The front-runners of deforestation for years were profit of corporations or the prestige of kingdom royalty. As progress was guilty of destroying trees, which would lead to future changes in the ecosystem; and the long-term effects on the environment would go ignored. The once, booming agricultural environment of…

questions between the first two subtopics, we realized that we had been sucked into trying to formulate a solution. During the second subtopic of the first day, we attempted to self-correct our issue to by focusing on asking questions about the deforestation itself, instead of ways to fix it. My turn to facilitate was on the second day, so I combed through my premade questions and tried to choose the ones that would help us understand the problem better. Questions like “Should the Brazilian…

Did you know that in 1990 there were only 2,500 hyacinth macaws left in the wild? (Blue Hyacinth Macaw) The hyacinth macaw is a parrot native to the rainforest. Unfortunately, this bird is seriously endangered because of the deforestation of their home. Humans have been known to be the cause of most of the destruction. Previous attempts to shelter them have been slightly effective, but we have devised solutions that can help save the hyacinth macaws numbers by greater amounts. In our paper we…

means that more trees are felling upon using it. Other ideas may have been used just to lessen the used of papers. In the Philippines, the productivity of paper is not really high or enormous. It is just being transported, if the current rate of deforestation continues, it will take less than 100 years to destroy all the rain forest on the earth. This has been proven that a large amount of consumption of trees increases in the past few years. It affects billions of lives causing troubles…

heavy rains and warm temperatures which hold stable throughout the year, ensuring a rich diversity of trees and plants. Unfortunately, now the forest is reducing at an alarming rate putting many animals and plants at risk for extinction due to deforestation and poachers.…

to the David Suzuki Foundation, “30% of logging in the Great Bear Rainforest has been in watersheds since 2001”, meaning the water quality of that area has been affected. As for wildlife, deforestation is one of the leading causes of animal extinction in the world today. Due to the negative effects deforestation has on wildlife and watersheds, the acts of clearcutting in the Great Bear Rainforest must subside. When it comes to watersheds, trees are desperately needed, and as the result of…

humans other than locals (tribes) is the key to saving the rainforest.This means that the rainforest will be able to continue naturally. Advantages Disadvantages Absolutely no large scale damage will be caused to the rainforest-the issue of deforestation will be entirely resolved Biodiversity will increase-endangered animal species will indefinitely bounce back Tribes people will be left alone and be able to continue their way of life-their traditions will not be lost The…

Elimination of life threatens Horn of Africa Somalia like most African countries is suffering from environmental degradation and desertification, the country suffers from both natural and manmade environmental issues. High levels of deforestation and overgrazing cause desertification and soil erosion. Productive land is destroyed by irrigation. The country has a growing population, people who depend on Agriculture as a way of making a living alongside raising livestock. There is very low…

Widespread economic growth along with globalization have led to negative environmental impacts that are getting out of hand. Deforestation is occurring all over the world to make room for agriculture and plantations that are feeding the growing demand for products such as beef or palm oil. Forests have often been referred to as the “Earth’s lungs.” The reason for this is because of the forest’s ability to take in carbon dioxide from the world’s atmosphere and through the process of…
