Save Our Forests
FOREST IS A VULNERABLE NATURAL RESOURCE
SAVE OUR FOREST

The poster is expressing concern about one of the most important resource: forest. It is one of the most vulnerable resources on our planet. The poster shows how humans are destroying this natural resource through cutting down trees and burning forests. This in turn is affecting the wildlife. The habitats of the wildlife are destroyed due to which some species become endangered and others die because they are not able to adapt to the new conditions and the new environment.
Forest is a renewable, storable, natural resource. It is the green cover on planet earth. If one needs a good reason why forest should exist, then staying alive is a pretty good reason. It is the major producer of oxygen and consumer of carbondioxide. Forests affect the earths great cycles of nitrogen and sulphur; they affect the color of the earth and therefore its reflectivity and its temperature, they affect local and regional water supplies; they are the major reservoir of plants and animals; they are the home of millions and the livelihoods of millions more. Forests play a role in the cause and even more importantly, a potential cure for global warming. Forests cut down causes increased greenhouse gases in the environment and diverse forest lessens these gases and thus lessens chances of global warming. Forests plays a vast role in everyone’s life by providing products and services such as timber, firewood, food, herbal medicine, recreations, landscape and habitat for wildlife.

Over the past few decades, however, the magnitude of the commercial level exploitation of forest resources, in the form of removable of timber-based products through the process of logging has intensified significantly.

In a full world, forests have functions far beyond merely providing timber and fibre to voraciously expanding markets. The reality of the economic pressures remains and the pressures increase even as the needs for the environmental

    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.…

    Every second, 1.5 acres of trees are cut down in a rainforest. That’s equivalent to two football pitches per second. At this rate, the Amazon rainforest will become devoid of life by 2030. Cutting down trees not only damages large habitual areas of the estimated 30 million people who live in the rainforest along with the animals they solely depend on, but affects the environment in many harmful ways. This can be through rapid and violent changes in the climate, an unbalanced ratio of carbon dioxide to oxygen impacting hugely on global warming, damage to the biodiversity of animals and tribes and fatal effects to the soil. Trees that are cut down can be used for a variety of different common purposes including rubber, oil, wax, glue and, more importantly, fuel. However, the list does not stop there. Trees are cut down to gain access to medicinal plants and create vast spaces to mine important ores. Yet possibly the biggest reason trees are cut down is to grow food. Commercial farmers need more land space to cultivate crops to feed our ever growing population as well as local farmers providing food for their family.…
