Today I am going to talk about 3 of them. First I will talk to you about deforestation. Next I will talk to you about Ocean pollution. Last‚ I will talk to you about overfishing. Each brings its own unique onslaught of problems. Each provides just another way in which the earth can become less beautiful. In the Oceans and on land

reason for deforestation occurs when forest land is disturbed‚ mostly by clearing out acres of forest disturbing the natural layout of the land. Clearing out means cutting down trees for industrial use and fuelwood. When tropical rainforest are cut‚ topsoil is left exposed‚ lacking the nutrients from absorbing rainwater. The nutrients simply washes away instead of saturating into the ground‚ leaving only the nutrient-poor subsoil. Forest land conversion is another major cause of deforestation. This is

Overview The rise in contaminants in the environment after the industrial revolution has led to deposition of metals‚ organic compounds and metalloids in high amounts in the soil. Some of the major sources of these pollutants are mining‚ smelting‚ mellaurgical industries‚ sewage sludge treatment‚ fertilizers‚ warfare and military training‚ electronic industries etc. (Padmavathiamma and Li 2007). There are several ways to remediate the soil chemically‚ physically‚ or biologically. However‚ chemical

shows the how diverse rainforests are. Because tropical rainforests cover large areas‚ cutting them down can lead to global warming. This is because when forests are cut down it causes higher concentrations of greenhouse gases. Specifically deforestation causes high level of carbon dioxide‚ it is released when forests are burned or when they

they pass away. Societies need to do something about it before it becomes too late and the problem gets worse. The main purpose of writing this essay is to highlight the two main causes which are (the emission of carbon dioxide by human and deforestation) and conceivable solutions of global warming. This essay will argue that how an emission of carbon dioxide through human can become a greatest cause of global warming and how by decreasing driving‚ traveling less and recycling of waste products

Forests have many beneficial qualities that are essential to human life‚ and each and every day humans are participating in deforestation. Some of the important contributions of forests are the production of oxygen‚ reduction of global warming‚ and providing wildlife habitats. Those contributions are only a fraction of why we need to conserve the forests of the world. Forests are

Reducing Deforestation Abstract The Green Belt Movement was established in 1977 by Dr. Wangari Maathai. The movement was enacted to plant enough trees and raise awareness regarding tropical deforestation. Although she was persecuted for her efforts to protect Kenya’s forest‚ she continued to fight the forest “give-aways” by planting trees and other nonviolent actions . The movement discovered that the survival of the forests is dependent upon how well they are cared for; it is also dependent

with the loss of forests due to deforestation. Earth’s atmosphere is being overloaded with carbon dioxide‚ which traps heat in and drives the temperature up. Other gases such as methane and nitrous oxide are also responsible for global warming. The rate in rise of temperature depends greatly on certain developments such as economical and technical. Increases in these gases are partly due to an increased industrial expansion‚ technological advancement‚ and deforestation (Global Climate Change‚ n.d.)

reason for why saolas are headed down the path to extinction is caused by a variety of factors. Deforestations‚ illegal poaching‚ and hunting traps are all causes for the declining saola population. A major reason for the extermination of the Saola is due to deforestation. Deforestation is the removal of forests to pave way to more urban uses. It proves as a danger to the native Saolas because deforestation is destroying their homes‚ jamming them into smaller spaces. This threatens the saolas because
