    Forests cover a third of all land on Earth, providing vital organic infrastructure for some of the planet's densest, most diverse collections of life. They support countless species as well as 1.6 billion human livelihoods, yet humans are also responsible for 32 million acres of deforestation every year. Why are forests so important?? 1. They help us breathe Forests pump out the oxygen we need to live and absorb the carbon dioxide we exhale (or emit). Just one adult leafy tree can produce as much oxygen in a season as 10 people inhale in a year. Plankton are more prolific, providing half of Earth's oxygen, but forests are still a key source of breathable air. 2. They're more than just trees, nearly half of all known species live in forests, including 80 percent of biodiversity on land. That variety is especially rich in tropical rain forests, from rare parrots to endangered apes, but forests teem with life around the planet: Bugs and worms work nutrients into soil, bees and birds spread pollen and seeds, and keystone species like wolves and big cats keep hungry herbivores in check. 3. People live there, too Some 300 million people live in forests worldwide, including an estimated 60 million indigenous people whose survival depends almost entirely on native woods. Many millions more live along or near forest fringes, (Fun Fact) even just a scattering of urban trees can raise property values and lower crime. Forests are a massive part of the world and its ecosystem many, many…

    will be then concluded to which extent each motive promotes prosocial behaviour. To begin with, empathy was long considered to be the major, if not the only, motivational force of prosocial behaviour (Eisenberg & Miller, 1987). Empathic concern for others in distress has been observed as early as in the first year of child development (see Davidov, Zahn-Waxler, Roth-Hanania & Knafo, 2013, for a review). This early observed empathy is a reliable predictor of the levels of prosociality emerging…

    Empathy is the ability to connect one’s feelings, emotions, and pain with another. To view the world in someone else’s perspective, and not judge them for how they view it, but instead crawl inside the person’s heart and soul. “If you can learn a simple trick, Scout, you’ll get along a lot better with all kinds of folks.” To scout, is to explore and discover. If we all observe people’s perspectives and emotions, we’ll be able to intertwine our life with everyone else’s. Empathy is being one with…

    My definition of compassion is when you are willing to help another being in need without the expectation or intent to receive anything in return. I was privileged to grow up with a mother that was very compassionate and caring, and from an early age she showed me that true compassion is giving without selflessness. I often find myself doing things out of compassion from day to day such as holding the door open for someone if I spot them trailing close by behind me. However in these same…
