Logging

On a thick log surrounded by tall highly pigmented grass deep in the Amazon Basin on the border of Peru sits three individuals staring at onlookers; one in confusion, one in distress, and the other with disinterest. Nearby the log on the edge of a green murky river stands a woman with two young children. The women are all dressed in a single wool-like material skirt revealing the upper part of their tan torso, while the men wear small straps of string to cover their genital. They share similar…

leveled by the cattle. “Illegal loggers send teams into the forest to identify these trees, and then they come in stealthily later and cut them down. The forest is thinned of its biodiversity, picked apart tree by tree. What's worse, the illegal logging gangs take the seed-bearing trees, what the rubber tappers call the "mothers of the forest." The law is that you can’t cut the Seed-Bearing Trees down because the trees provide hundreds of gallons of water a day to transpiration on a hot day. But…

own campaign called “Mystical Forests” (Lasn 30). This campaign stated that logging was not sustainable and the future of British Columbia’s forestry was being threatened. When CBC rejected to air “Mystical Forests” the group “mobilized in retaliation” (Lasn 31). They created press releases, contacted journalists, and protested. Their efforts got wide coverage in print, television, and radio. Soon after, CBC pulled the logging industry’s campaign. They realized that with a budget of zero dollars…

Deforestation in The Amazon Rainforest affects the forest, the inhabitants, the weather, and even the polar ice caps. My project goal is to explain and demonstrate to my audience that even though logging may seem like a victimless crime, it’s actually causing much harm to the Earth. Deforestation causes a domino effect, where one spot of wildlife were to die out, the rest of the Earth would fall. Deforestation in the Amazon Rainforest affects human lives and will make the future collapse if…

Tropical Rainforest Damage Tropical rainforests are home to over half the world 's species such as butterflies, spiders, worms, snakes, 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…

Introduction: The goal of this lab is to understand how Group Policy Objects and Password Settings Objects are enforced and used on a contextual and practical level. We also joined a client PC to our Domain and enforced these Policies on the client machine. We also played with how blocking inheritence of these objects interacts with the client machine to see which configurations work and which don 't. Procedure: Please check wiki for any and all configuration documentation. Below are…

Tree(s) of Life The folk hero Johnny Appleseed is known for planting hundreds of trees across the North American frontier, but few know that this story is more fact than fiction. His real name was John Chapman, and for forty years he traveled from Philadelphia to Ohio, scavenging apple seeds from cider mills which he would eventually plant in scattered locations across the country (Means 82). Thanks to certain homestead acts which considered his trees to be land stakes, it is estimated Chapman…
