An issue in the world today that is extremely troubling is the deforestation of the Amazon Rainforest. The world’s largest remaining natural resource is at risk of total destruction. This beautiful South American forest represents 40% of the continent and 54% of the total remaining rain forests that are left. It covers nine of the countries in South America which include Brazil‚ Colombia‚ Peru‚ Venezuela‚ Bolivia‚ Guyana‚ French Guiana and Suriname. From May 2000 to August 2006‚ approximately 150

Nowdays‚ alot of tree have been cut down to improve the standard of living and there are so many effects can be enumerated as result of the activity. Deforestation is process of converting forest into non-forest sites‚ it occur due to developing country such as urbanization and to grow crops. Although‚ it can bring benefit to people and country but the negative impact can give serious effect to the surroundings

importantly‚ what can we do to help? The most important things we can do to help is to reduce the number of trees we cut. This will lessen the effect of deforestation and global warming. In addition‚ we can make laws or statements that for every tree we cut down‚ we should plant another two to five trees. The statement will definitely eliminate deforestation for the most part. Now to stop habitat fragmentation and human encroachment‚ we must place boundaries and sanctuaries for sloths and anyone who still

today’s Global energy crisis‚ we find ourselves dependent on wood‚ as did Britain. Based on the reading from “An Early Energy Crisis and its Consequences” (Nef 1977)‚ Britain in the second half of the 16th century had its first energy crisis due to deforestation. The country had a large supply of forest‚ and was greatly dependent of wood for everything. They used it for building homes and furniture among many other things. The government regulated the use of wood as it used it for building there ships

How does coastal development impact the reefs? http://www.givethereefabreak.org/reef-facts/ * The growth of coastal cities and towns generates a range of threats to nearby coral reefs. * Where space is limited‚ airports and other construction projects may be built on land reclaimed from the sea. * Sensitive habitats can be destroyed or disturbed by dredging activities necessary for these developments. * Dredging for deep-water channels or marinas‚ and the dumping of waste

Today ‚ a major threat to survival of these organisms is deforestation. We know that deforestation means clearing forests and using the land for other purposes. Trees in the forestare cut for procuring land for cultivation‚building houses and factories and making furniture or using wood as fuel.Some natural causesof deforestation are forest fires and severe droughts. We know that deforestation disturbs the balance in nature.If cutting of trees continues

The huge amounts of carbon emission for our factories and cars are released into the atmosphere. The plants and trees‚ which inhale the excess carbon dioxide being released‚ are now being cut and global climate change will soon reach its peak. Also‚ in these forests a lot of mining takes place due to deforestation. And this mining causes

Some of these other manmade reasons are deforestation‚ wastages from households or other place‚ c.f.c emission. So‚ only controlling industrialization will not help us to have balance in climate rather deforestation‚ wastages‚ c.f.c. emission also need to be controlled or replaced with eco-friendly innovations for having better climate.Is industrialization alone to be blamed for

Some of the major effects of deforestation include biodiversity loss‚ local climate change and global warming. Farmers often have trouble raising crops‚ which typically results in more problems‚ such as an increase in food prices. Soil erosion and cultural displacement also can occur. Those who want to address the problem have a variety of options‚ however. Biodiversity Loss A loss of biodiversity often follows a reduction in the amount of forested land. Trees‚ shrubs and other plants provide shelter
