Deforestation

Every year, many plants and animal species are killed, or even put to the brink of extinction, due to Amazon Deforestation. “Forests are complex ecosystems that affect almost every species on the planet. When they are degraded, it can set off a devastating chain of events both locally and around the world.” (Bradford) By deforesting the amazon, many animals are losing their homes and food sources. 240,000 miles of Amazon Rainforests are taken down each year for human supplies. Many animals and…

transforming from a wonderful forest with multiple species and habitats, into the next lifeless desert, due to deforestation. Deforestation is the process of clearing trees from a large area. This process is not only ruining the world, but for humans and animals too. Nearly half of the world's forests have been destroyed, and even more are being cut down at greater rates each year. The rapid deforestation of the Amazon Rainforest over the past 50 years is a serious issue for both the planet and…

than 400 ppm (Butler 1). With carbon dioxide production so high and on the rise, it is obvious that more trees are needed than ever before to counter global warming, and yet we continue to remove them faster than we can repair. The effects of deforestation are only just beginning to be seen, and without forest management on a global scale it will soon be felt by the future generations to…

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…

disappearing. The Amazon rainforest is getting deforestation at the rate of 1.5 hectares every second. However, we are getting punish for our action. These are the consequences such as flood, wild extinction and landslides. (Topic sentences 1) The first problem of deforestation is flooding. The Amazon…

There are three things I will be comparing they environmental damage, animal species extinct and human destruction.The first topic I will be talking about is environmental damage. I think the biggest environmental damage at both places is deforestation. In the Lorax the once-ler doesn’t think about what would happen when all the trees are gone but the difference between the Lorax and Easter island is in the Lorax…

they were to pass and enforce stricter laws on the amount of deforestation that can occur in a certain amount of time, it would greatly lengthen the life expectancy of the Amazon, and allow for a sustainable deforestation process. An article in Newsweek found that “Between 2005 and 2010, Brazil’s greenhouse gas emissions plunged by 39 percent, declining faster than in any other country. Brazil accomplished this by slashing its deforestation rate by more than three-quarters, mostly in the Amazon…

why should I care? Well, there is approximately over 30 million species of plants, animals and incest that call the rainforest their home. The loss of these species homes, which toke sixty to hundred million years to evolve isn’t the only reason deforestation is a problem and a lot of them affect you too. Twenty percent of the world’s oxygen is produced in the amazon rain forest alone along with twenty-five percent of our medicines come from the rainforest. Which we have only discovered 1% of…

The deforestation is caused by those who wish to use the land for other purposes such as pasture land and crop land. The main concern of many scientists is that the deforestation is reaching to the natural rainforests of the world. Rainforests alone create a sizeable measurement of oxygen and regulate Earth’s temperature. The primary rainforest…

Rainforest Deforestation Ahh oxygen, who doesn't love it? Apparently a lot of people because our main source of it is whittling away! Quite quickly if you ask me and it's our fault. It is clear that deforestation must stop and here are the reasons. Deforestation causes multiple problems across the world, like tearing the homes away from cute and endangered animals, to actually killing us by taking away our oxygen source, which is something we (desperately) need. Now lots of people will be saying…
