Some valuable resources there that we all we are the type of plants we use for medicine‚ we get food there like bananas‚ we use tress as well‚ and many more but that’s a few to name. 2. What impact does deforestation have on the rainforests? What are some of the short and long-term consequences that result from the destruction of the rainforests? The impact would be leaving all those species there to die because they don’t know where to go mostly all of can

Hillsides have been stripped off its vegetation cover in the Himalayas‚ which has become a major cause for the earthquakes‚ avalanches‚ and landslides. Deforestation not only diminishes the natural beauty of any place but also upsets the ecological balance of that place. It is believed that the Thar Desert is a man-made desert. Yes! Emperor Akbar went for hunting there. Wildlife is at the brink of destruction

I.Our environment is the sum total of our surroundings A photograph of Earth reveals a great deal‚ but it does not convey the complexity of our environment. Our environment (a term that comes from the French environner‚ “to surround”) is more than water‚ land‚ and air; it is the sum total of our surroundings. It includes all of the biotic factors‚ or living things‚ with which we interact. It also includes the abiotic factors‚ or nonliving things‚ with which we interact. Our environment includes

At the moment‚ subsistence farming is responsible for 48% of deforestation‚ farming used for our personal use makes up 32% of deforestation‚ logging makes up 14% of deforestation and wood used for fuel makes up 5% of deforestation. The rest of deforestation is taken up by illegal logging and fuel use. Subsistence farming consists of local farmers cultivating the land for their own personal use. This way of

It is important to recognize the detrimental effects that come with deforestation; extinction of specialized species‚ loss of biodiversity‚ soil erosion‚ loss of habitat‚ and climate change are all serious matters that can no longer be thrown under the rug. Although the timber industry relies on trees‚ they should not be seen

In this article we have discuss on how we have influenced our natural environment. Our natural environment has being eg; Polluted with the mount of rubbish we have dumped in our ocean which cause water pollution. Deforestation has being a worst nightmare for the animals that live in that habitat. Recycling‚ is a good thing to help save the earth‚ from reducing; paper‚ bottles‚cardboard etc‚ without damaging it from polluting and cutting down trees. Pollution has been a very big concern in our

According to data provided by the Malaysian Forestry Department(2007)‚Malaysia has an average annual deforestation rate of 0.35 %. In total‚ between 1990 and 2005 ‚ Malaysia lost 6.6% of its forest cover‚ or around 1‚486‚000 hectares. As a example‚ Deforestation will reduce our natural resource like rubber‚ oxygen and others . When the deforestation activity occur ‚ it will destruct the natural habitat of wild animals

Early in human history‚ people used energy for heating‚ lighting‚ and cooking. As humans began to farm larger areas of land‚ their energy demands changed. Domesticated animals were used for energy sources to pull plows. When the Industrial Revolution occurred‚ people’s energy demands further changed to meet the needs of industry. Work that was done by people and animals were then transferred over to machines. These machines required more natural resources such as iron and coal to produce large amounts

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
