Abstract Deforestation is occurring around the world at an unprecedented pace. It is a vast and widespread phenomenon. Throughout the forests of virtually every continent‚ people are destroying valuable forests either for purposes of living or trade. Housing and urbanization‚ conversion to cropland and pasture‚ and illegal logging are causing rapid deforestation. As a result of deforestation‚ the ecosystem has been loss‚ precipitation also occurs and it increasing the global warming. To overcome

My Greatest Nature Concern Is Global Deforestation Deforestation is a big issue worldwide that people do not put attention to‚ but it will be a future concern for humanity. For example‚ we the people are destroying forests‚ rain and tropical forests‚ jungles‚ mountains‚ and grasslands by cutting down lots of trees for personal use. Of course‚ we used the trees to build houses‚ buildings‚ farms‚ etc‚ and for some other different types of useful things‚ but we are not measuring the consequences

Deforestation is clearing Earth’s forests on a massive scale‚ often resulting in damage to the quality of the land. Deforestation is a problem that is caused largely by greed and want for property‚ money and possibly status. In many parts of the world the forest is taken for granted as a replenishable resource‚ which it is. The problem is that the trees cannot be regrown and replanted at the rate at which they are being cut down. For this reason the forests are declining at an incredible rate and

Introduction Deforestation is the process of clearing the forest by cutting down the trees for fulfilling different demands. Forest has a vital role in meeting people’s needs. Therefore people usually cut down the trees of the forest without having proper knowledge. Indeed‚ exploit of land really lend a big helping to grow in economic. For example‚ exploit of land is for wider develop range‚ the lands is use to build households‚ buildings and as we know trees had a very high demand all across

Deforestation is the permanent destruction of indigenous forests and woodlands. The term does not include the removal of industrial forests such as plantations of gums or pines. Deforestation has resulted in the reduction of indigenous forests to four-fifths of their pre-agricultural area. Indigenous forests now cover 21% of the earth’s land surface. In a forest the crowns of individual trees touch to form a single canopy. In a woodland‚ trees grow far apart‚ so that the canopy is open.

DEFORESTATION Deforestation has been described as the cutting down of trees without planting others in their place. Deforestation‚ clearance or clearing is the removal of a forest or stand of trees where the land is thereafter converted to a non-forest use. Examples of deforestation include conversion of forestland to farms‚ ranches‚ or urban use. It is hard to think that there was a time when 90% of the earth was covered by trees‚ but this was once the case. More than half of the animal and plant

BIOL101 Article Review 5/1/2010 Deforestation It is impossible to overstate the importance of humankind ’s clearing of the forests. The transformation of forested lands by human actions represents one of the great forces in global environmental change and one of the great drivers of biodiversity loss. The impact of people has been and continues to be profound. Forests are cleared‚ degraded and fragmented by timber harvest‚ conversion to agriculture‚ road-building‚ human-caused fire‚ and in

Forests are the lungs of the earth and they should not be destroyed. Deforestation causes not only the loss of our precious and stunning forests‚ but also habitat destruction‚ extinction of species‚ and the loss of necessary resources. It’s imperative to prevent the total destruction of our land so that we might be able to salvage what’s left of our environment. If we don’t stop this problem soon there will be no future for our children. Habitat destruction is the awful process in which natural

LAND POLLUTION TYPE: DEFORESTATION 1. INTRODUCTION Deforestation: is the removal of trees as well as other plants from forest areas much more quickly than they can be replanted or regenerated naturally. It ’s a trouble due to the parts how the trees must play in stabilising the climate‚ atmospheric composition and soil structure. According to The Environ Facts 8 Feb. 1999‚ deforestation reduces the ability of the land to support life‚ affecting wild species‚ domestic animals‚ agricultural

Deforestation Deforestation‚ involves the cutting down‚ burning‚ and damaging of forests. The clearing of tropical forests across the Earth has been occurring on a large scale for many years. If the current rate continues‚ the world ’s rain forests will vanish soon‚ causing unknown effects on global climate and eliminating the majority of plant and animal species on the planet. It would also change the water and oxygen levels dramatically‚ which would increase the global warming. Deforestation is
