Forest Conservation

It takes about ten to one hundred years or more for a large tree to reach its full growth. Hence, if the trees in mountains and forests were carelessly cut down, it would take hundreds of years to replace them. Reforestation or tree farming is one of the projects undertaken by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) to replace the trees that have cut down in the forest. In tree farms, selective farming is done for a constant supply of young trees for reforestation activities. Preventing forest fires is also another way of conserving our trees.

Let us do our part in saving our forest before it’s too late.

2. The phrase “tree farming” in the first sentence of the second paragraph means A) planting of tree C) removal of trees B) cutting of trees D) barking of trees

    Deforestation is the cutting down of a large area of trees and the destruction of forests by people. Forests are what we call an exhaustible resource, one which can be used up if it is not used carefully. Over the last few decades, deforestation has threatened the rainforests with total extinction. To understand why deforestation is such an important issue, you first have to understand why trees matter. Trees improve in many ways the life of all species, including the human race. They help to maintain the Earth’s benevolent atmosphere, provide shelter for much biodiversity, but also have a high commercial value. As a consequence there is much critical debate around the causes and solutions for deforestation.…

    Deforestation is an ongoing issue throughout the world. To this date, we have lost more than 75 percent of the forests on Earth. Deforestation is the clearing of forests to make way for new, non-forest land uses, such as urban development or agriculture, transforming a forest into cleared land (“Deforestation and Afforestation”). When thinking about deforestation, the first place that comes in anyone’s mind is Brazil, because that is where the Amazon rainforest is located and it was once known to have the highest deforestation rate in the world. However, Canada, which accounts for “10 percent of the world’s forests…now accounts for 21 percent of all deforestation in the world” (Okolo). Due…

    New Hampshire, with 78.4% forest cover, is currently the second most forested state in the country with Maine being the first. However, the forest cover has been steadily declining since the 1980s. “This loss is about 17,500 acres per year, mostly due to land development” and “Every day, the average person in the USA will consume about 4.5 pounds of wood, that 's a little over a third of a two-by-four. Over the course of a year, that adds up to a 16-18" tree, a hundred feet tall” (Forest Service). Each year, the nation plants more than 5 new trees for each American. Wood is a renewable resource. As long as forests are not converted by development, harvesting trees does not result in an increase of carbon in the atmosphere. Today there are certain foundations and things to do to prevent deforestation. Although we need wood to cut down for certain things, we plant three trees for every tree we cut down. This is called the 3 to 1 Ratio by Society Protecting New Hampshire Forest’s.…

    There are abundant ways we can and should use the forest more sustainably to be assured that they will be around for future generations. Some ways are enrichment planting; selective logging; preserving wildlife corridors and ecotourism. Enrichment planting consist of planting new trees or plants under older trees or in small clearings in the event that the trees do not grow back by themselves. This will help reduce, if not stop, forests from disappearing worldwide, provide treasured timber species and help protect secondary forests. Selective logging occurs by cutting only some of the trees, while saving young trees and some healthy older trees to hold soil and provide seed for the future. This helps to restore forests, prevents areas from being totally destroyed from clear cutting and it leaves something to reseed. Preserving wildlife corridors…

    Trees are one of the most important aspects of the planet we live in. Trees are vitally important to the environment, animals, and of course for us humans. They are important for the climate of the Earth, as they act as filters of carbon dioxide and most importantly provide oxygen to us. Forests act as a habitat and shelters to millions of species. However, these trees are being depleted at a very fast rate. According to some estimates, more than 50 percent of the tree cover has disappeared due to human activity. Deforestation is the destruction of forests and woodlands. The term does not include the removal of industrial forests such as plantations of gums or pines. Deforestation has led to the reduction of forests to four-fifths of their pre-agricultural area. Forests now cover only 21% of the earth's land surface.…
