The northern lowlands regions covered by rainforests. Both the lowlands and the highlands were important for trade within their civilization. First, the lowlands are a limestone shelf adjoined by the Gulf of Mexico on the west and north, and by the Caribbean Sea on the east. The lowlands were important…

Many do not posses much knowledge on palm oil; such as the ways it affects one’s health and how it is produced. Even though most are unfamiliar with these aspects of palm oil, they are most likely well acquainted with it and use it on a regular—if not daily— basis. Palm oil, although present in many everyday products, has immoral and unethical factors of production. Palm oil is a type of oil that comes from the fruit of palm trees. Many companies take advantage of the fact that palm oil is…

We were just peacefully lazying around the river bank when they started clearing the land. We could not do anything. As the trees fell all over, father gathered all of us and we sadly left. We had to find a new home deeper into the tropical rainforest. Our home was destroyed by the illegal loggers. Along the way, we met many other wildlife animals in all shapes and sizes, all fighting for survivals. The strong live on while the weak usually perished. That’s the circle of life. The other…

How To Disappoint Your Conservative Father At this point in my life, I can tell you without hesitation that I believe in biocentrism, and that my worldview is primarily one of Environmental Wisdom. However, I had very little opinion on the environment at all until I was about 12 or 13 and picked up a National Geographic for the first time. It’s astounding the impact that one’s environment can have on their environmental worldview as well as their environmental actions. I was raised in a very…

production without intensive labor, a lot of the work can be done by hand, the ashen remains of the burnt trees leave nutrients in the soil to help plants grow and if done properly it enriched soil and can be regenerative and productive in tropical rainforests (152). But the cons remain and include the burning of forests to accommodate for farmland, then after a few years the fields are abandoned and planting shifts to a new location. If done incorrectly and the fields are over used then weeds…

The Rainforest Campaign organisation is a UK charity that helps raise awareness of the issues caused with the destruction of rainforests.

e crux of the issue began in 1986 when then, Conoco Inc. entered into an agreement with the government of Ecuador to explore for oil in Block 16. Block 16 was a 500,000-acre area of untouched rainforest in the Amazon Forest (Wasserstrom, R., & Reider, S., 1997, August 18). Conoco’s plan included prospecting for oil and if oil was found to build two more tributary pipelines to tie into the already existing Trans-Ecuadorian Pipeline System (SOTE). Their plans also included a 120 km road that was…

organic matter on the forest floor and in the soil would never decompose. The rate at which these microorganisms decompose dead material is directly responsible for the availability of nutrients for plants. As the humidity and temperatures in rainforests are high, conditions are ideal for rapid microbial decomposition. However, the rates of decomposition will differ according to which microorganisms are present, the character of the organic matter, the physical and chemical environment of the…
