In the same way land grabbers are capturing the forests and making big buildings. Deforestation not only involves the tree destruction but also manages the wild animals. They as much block the natural circle and this ultimately results into race destruction. This action has long-lasting effect on the survival of human race. Deforestation involves the cutting down‚ burning‚ and damaging of forests. Deforestation can be defined as the change of forest with depletion of tree crown cover more than

With the destruction of forest there will be an imbalance which would have a negative effect on the environment. Endangered species of flora and fauna will become in danger of extinction‚ as well as climates and weather change‚ will occur. These can be in form of soil erosion‚ flooding and global warming.

Title: Facts About Deforestation in Malaysia Deforestation has been causing various environmental problems in Southeast Asia. There are many causes of deforestation and the main cause is population growth. As the population of Southeast Asian countries increases rapidly‚ there is a huge increase in demand for houses. Many forest areas were cleared in order to give way for housing estates in order to meet this huge demand. For example‚ Bukit Antarabangsa in Malaysia used to be beautiful rainforest

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

DEFORESTATION INTRODUCTION The clearing of tropical forests across the Earth has been occurring on a large scale for many years. This process‚ known as deforestation‚ involves the cutting down‚ burning‚ and damaging of forests. If the current rate of deforestation 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

Deforestation Forests are vital for life‚ home to millions of species‚ they protect soil from erosion‚ produce oxygen‚ store carbon dioxide‚ and help control climate. Forests are also vital for us to live as they provide us with food‚ shelter and medicines as well as many other useful things. They also purify the air we breathe and water that we need to survive. Deforestation by humans is causing all of these necessary functions to be lessened‚ and hence damaging the atmosphere even further. Forests

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

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

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
