Opposing Viewpoints: Logging And Deforestation

Some places have significant importance and many people work to protect those places of deep natural or open space value. In part II, “Speaking of Place”, from the anthology Wildbranch, the authors focus on personal connections and responses to particular places. These writers emphasize on sense of place, making their chosen spot quite different from any other place around, and also making their surroundings worth caring about. Nature is rapidly weakening in front of our eyes, and these places, frequently defined as cultural landscapes, play a massive roll on our environment; therefore, and taking this into consideration, the conservation of nature, in general, requires resources or a reserve for the welfare of people today and making sure
Timber companies and logging proponents have their own point of view about conservation, and in “Opposing Viewpoints: Logging and Deforestation”, people in favor of deforestation practices argue,
Wood is one of the most valuable natural resources. It is used to build homes, businesses, churches, and museums. Men and women who live in rural areas use it to heat their houses during the colder months of the year. Likewise, refined wood can be turned into paper. Without a certain amount of logging each year, various manufacturing industries would grind to a halt. The world economy itself would fall on hard times.
But deforestation has a negative impact on the environment, and the loss of habitat for millions of species is a very dramatic one. According to the World Wildlife Fund Organization, forests are home to 80% of the world’s terrestrial biodiversity, and the majority of these species cannot survive the destruction of their homes. Linda Maree emphasizes this concern in her “Hiking the Fakahatchee Strand” essay from the Wildbranch anthology, “Once all the harvestable trees were cut, the timber companies took their saws and rail lines elsewhere, leaving bruised and ailing ecosystem behind” (58). Conservation is the preservation of natural resources through the implementation of control and care. It is up to us to maintain a favorable balance or balance
Water conservation is one of those resources to be seen as an aspect of extreme urgency. Often, the impacts on the environment and these natural resources like water, air, soil, and biodiversity are so intense that decrease future profitability for the exploitation of non-renewable resources. Two of the main priorities of water conservation are the management of watersheds and the control of environmental pollution. A healthy watershed protects water supplies, feed forests, plants and wildlife, and it also maintains fertile soil that supports community
