rainforest is diminishing at an enormous rate. About 10‚000 square miles of this beautiful forest is being lost to pastures for grazing‚ soybean plantations‚ and illegal logging. Since the year before there has been a forty percent increase in the deforestation of the Amazon forest. The Amazon is the world’s largest tropical rainforest. They expect this horrible trend to only become worse. Some conclude that if the forest is not protected that it will be wiped out in only eighty years! The destruction

Although people use palm oil they may not know of the downsides to the mass production of it as this is not always using sustainable measures. The logging and deforestation has led to many animals losing their natural habitat. Another issue is that cutting down these trees causes high levels of carbon dioxide to be present in the air therefore contributing to global warming. Also Local workers that are working for

Soil erosion is a major concern in the southeastern region of Nigeria due to high population densities and farming techniques‚ which has resulted in the presence of numerous gullies. While gullies are found all around the world‚ the existence of gullies in Nigeria is regarded as one of the worst environment disasters‚ having negative implications on the environment and the quality of life for humans and other species (Adetona & Ezezika‚ 2011; Ajaegwu & al‚ 2010).

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.

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

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
