The Silent Voices of People from the Endangered Redwood Forests According to Woody Harrelson’s letter to the editor of the San Francisco Examiner, there was a protest on September 14, 1997, of people cutting down many redwood trees that occurred in Northern California. Thousands of people came together during this time to stop the horrible destruction. Charles Hurwitz was the main person who was involved in the logging of the trees and he was the chief executive in charge at the Pacific Lumber…

frogs, parrots, sloths, and jaguars. There’s three levels of the rainforest; the forest floor where plants don’t grow because there is almost no sunlight. Understory layer where little sunshine reaches this area so the plants need to have big leaves to capture sunlight. Canopy layer where most of the trees have oval leaves that are pointy. Then the tallest trees are the emergents, which are over 200 feet above the forest floor. The rainforests provided our human ancestors with a supply of…

roughly 7% of the forests in the world. This implies that Canada has an important role to manage their forests effectively. As we know, there are many factors that can disrupt the forest system, the two major groups of threats are seemed to be the natural disturbances and human activities. In terms of the human activities, such as farming and industrial development, are thought to be responsible for disrupting the forests. It is considered as rather a smaller effect in the forest of Canadian…

The Smoky Mountains are home to a wide variety of plants. The Great Smoky Mountains national park is over 800 square miles, and throughout this vast space is found a large diversity of plants. The national park is over 95% forested, and is sometimes referred to as the “wildflower national park”. While over 12,000 plant species have been discovered in the park, there is evidence that there may be as many as 90,000 unfound species. The range of elevations throughout the Smoky Mountains makes it a…

detection. At one time in the 1940s, there were more than 4,000 fire towers in National Forests across the United States. Now there are less than 900. Most lookouts were built in the 1930s and 40s. Many of them were constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). Computerized lightning detection systems and air patrols have in large part replaced lookout structures. Furthermore, there are more forest visitors now than back in the day, and most of them have cell phones to report a fire…

with over 2,900 animal species occupying in the Amazon rain forest. (Animals) These animals serve an important role in the world’s ecosystem, but are quickly becoming endangered. Although the extinction of animals is a natural occurrence, human activities has quicken their rate of becoming extinct. From early European colonists and settlers, to deforestation, and to animal smuggling, the number of species in the Brazilian rain forests are rapidly decreasing, but with the endangerment of animals…

a lot of rain forest. In rain forest many days is rainy. And most areas is wet. In areas that have a tropical wet climate, many days are rainy, often with afternoon thunderstorms. Rain forest are forests in which plenty of rain falls all year-round. In the united states, only the windward sides of the hawaiian islands have a tropical wet climate. Tropical wet and dry climate get slightly less rain than tropical climate and have distinct dry and rainy seasons. Instead of rain forest, there are…

“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…

dry forest. This is the world’s most endangered biome. It is located in the southern part of Mexico, Southeastern Africa, the Lesser Sundas, Central India, Madagascar, New Caledonia, Eastern Bolivia, and Central Brazil. The tropical dry forest has its ups and downs. The tropical dry forest temperatures’ rise each year and get hundreds of centimeters of rain a year which makes it a perfect place for soil and vegetation. The climate of the tropical dry forest makes anything growing in the forest…

is unnecessary and causes the climate to change negatively and forests cover 30% of the world’s land area, large patches are lost every year due to deforestation. Deforestation is the permanent destruction of forests or a wide area of trees. People need trees. Deforestation is unnecessary because the water cycle is being affecting negatively and trees are a big part of it, also 1.6 billion people rely on the resources from the forest, and global warming is also being affected negatively.…
