Introduction. Forests are changing dramatically in the face of climate change and human activities. Since the 1800s, fire exclusion, animal grazing, timber harvest, and climate cycles have contributed to these changes (Graham and Jain 2005). In 2016, we are seeing unprecedented tree mortality—more than 62 million have died this year alone (USDA 2016). California experienced a fourth consecutive year of below-average precipitation in 2015 with mean monthly temperatures reaching record or near…

The positives of the Wilderness Act are it immediately put 9.1 million acres of land into protection, prohibits logging in many areas along with the 9.1 million acres. The downside to the wilderness…

Today, 12% of the world is covered in forests. Forests have a big role in the environment and keeping animals, as well as the air, healthy and clean. The world is losing one of its main resources. Instead of throwing away some paper that was used, put it into the recycling bin. Or, instead of sitting outside…

It is estimated that about 15 percent of the greenhouse gasses that are released into our atmosphere are from deforestation from plantation agriculture (WWF). The Amazon Rainforest is known as a carbon sink, meaning that the trees here soak up carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gasses that pollute our atmosphere (WWF). With the increasing numbers of trees being cut down every day for the high supply and demand of the cash crops here, the amount of the greenhouse gases being released in the…

Orcas, more commonly known as killer whales, should not be used for entertainment. Some other people, on the other hand, think killer whales should still be used for entertainment. Experts have established, though, if killer whales stay in captivity their health will be endangered, and their lives will be shortened. Still, some people believe killer whales should be used for entertainment. The killer whales bring in a load of money and people who work at places like SeaWorld and Dutch Wonderland…
