Explain why Rainforests are fragile ecosystems under threat Human beings are the biggest threat to the rainforest ecosystems due to the exploitative nature of our industrial society. As the NIC’s with rainforests in have begun to develop they found the economic value of the rainforests for many international markets as well as internal infrastructure; the resources available are priceless. Logging companies are granted forestry rights‚ usually cheaply‚ to harvest timber to sell abroad for furniture

The fire in the Amazon deforestation in Brazil has been the top producers of greenhouse gas CO2.

Tropical deforestation is the largest source of emissions for many developing countries‚ but slowing deforestation can’t solve the climate problem by itself. As forest-rich developing countries step up to take responsibility for reducing their emissions‚ all industrialized nations should not only support their efforts

Vegans live by the idea that they are bettering the world through saving animals‚ benefiting personal health‚ and also helping to solve much larger world hunger problems.

Malthusian Theory in relation to the Caribbean According to Chinapoo et Al (2014)‚ Thomas Malthus’s Theory (1798)‚ claims that population growth is determined by certain natural laws and food supply was the main limit to population. He argued that population increases faster than the food supply and compared the way in which each increases. Malthus ’ theory of population can be used to explain the dynamics of the relationship between population and resources in less developed territories. Since the

technology used in production is highly innovative and ecological as the water used in the fish production is treated by a biofiltration system‚ to convert the ammonia from the fish into nitrates. These nitrates are then used as a fertilizer for the hydroponic lettuce production. This system has environmentally sustainable advantages through combining the production. The system is minimizes water use and loss whilst the vegetables are able to fully utilize the wastewater of the fish instead of being discharged

A functioning model will be created to prove the viability of a self contained and symbiotic relationship that combines hydroponic vegetable production with aquaculture production. Hydroponics is the farming of vegetables using only water and loose fill media instead of soil. Aquaculture is the farming of fish in a controlled and sustainable environment. Putting these two systems together provides a source
