Logging

illegal deforestation exceeds the percentage of legal deforestation. For the most part, however, it is left ignored. Not only has this led to a faster decline of the worldwide tree populations, but several other issues have arisen involving the environment around the deforested area and greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide. Because deforestation is legal in the US and surrounding countries, most arguments concerning this process that arise are quickly shut down. Illegal logging, another word for deforestation, is occurring rapidly and is leaving irreparable damage to the environment. If people do not gain an education about this issue, it could, sooner than expected, lead to the collapse of civilization. We have used deforestation for decades in order to contribute to developing cities and towns, establishing homes and supplies for ourselves such as food, wood, and other natural assets. These are obtained from the deforested area and then sold, manufactured and used. As the population continues to boom, logging has become a major issue. According to Sam Lawson, author of ‘Consumer Goods and Deforestation: An Analysis of the Extent and Nature of Illegality in Forest Conversion for Agriculture and Timber Plantations’, “[a]griculture alone accounts for over 70 percent of all deforestation across tropical and sub-tropical countries”. The companies that are in charge of this process have turned malicious. Driven by greed, some companies will take too many of the trees, some…
