Ancient forests around the world are in peril‚ but we can still save them. Governments and the timber industry need to understand what a crucial role they play in maintaining global biodiversity‚ not to mention how vital they are in regulating the climate‚ so they need to act now. And as consumers‚ we can all help to save the forests. Making sure that the wood and paper we buy has come from well-managed sources (or‚ even better‚ is 100 per cent recycled) is something we can all easily do. We have

regions are large and complex environments which allow for separation of groups within a species. This geographical separation can cause groups of a species to diverge and become a separate species. In Africa’s rainforest‚ factors such as deforestation‚ building roads‚ Illegal wildlife trade‚ and slash and burn agriculture has had an enormous impact on the diversity of the forest‚ and has already wiped out ninety percent of West Africa’s forest.

The massive and consistent rate of destroying rainforests has created devastating shifts in the weather and climate in those immediate areas and on a global scale‚ so the stability of Earth’s climate relies heavily on banning rainforest deforestation. One role that rainforests play in regulating climate is stimulating precipitation through evapotranspiration and keeping the forest floor cool‚ so the climate becomes significantly drier and warmer when the land is converted to pastures. Evapotranspiration

The weather includes constant rain and winds that can lead to tree fall. Current Human Impacts Deforestation is the main human impact on the Amazon rainforest. -- It is estimated that 20% of the rainforest has been cut down in the last 40 years. -- the rainforest use to cover 14% of the Earth’s surface and now it covers only 6%. Future Human Impacts Experts believe that if the deforestation is not reduced now‚ within the next 40 years there will be little to no remains of the rainforest

smallest parasite to the human race. We‚ as human beings‚ may not understand the severity of the possible consequences that deforestation poses. Since deforestation has had no severe effect on us yet‚ we ignore the problem; however‚ deforestation can cause a major problem for our environment. Some of the problems are carbon dioxide‚ wasting paper‚ climate change and logging. Deforestation increases the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
