Background of the Study INTRODUCTION To achieve rapid economic development‚ many countries resort to various activities to use and take advantage of natural resources. One of such activities is mining. Thus‚ mining became an important activity which has potential for the contribution of development of areas enriched with resources. Having visited Surigao Del Norte once a month starting February until August of this year‚ I was deeply frustrated by the negative impact of mining in the province

This company was approached by Dr. Renato Melgar to produce and market the Rapidgrow --- a soil treatment in pellet form which increases the growth rates of two- three species commonly used in reforestation in Asian countries by 30-70 percent in a span of 6-18 months. The product direct cost is estimatedb at P0.0288 per tablet. And if this product will be out in the market‚ Dr. Melgar estimated that the foreign market of Rapidgrow is to be about 1

The end result of cutting down of trees Eller (2009) stated over the past years there has been a radical change‚ where more than 30 million trees are cut-down every year. Africa is accountable for 17 percent of the worlds’ plantation as it covers 520 million hectares Hennig (2004). In Africa 28 trees are cut-down down with‚ only one tree being replanted. An important issue concerning the environment will be critically analyzed by showing the end result of deforestation and soil erosion. Deforestation

Deforestation results from removal of trees without sufficient reforestation; however‚ even with reforestation‚ significant biodiversity loss may occur Moreover‚ deforestation also alters the hydrologic cycle‚ the moisture in the atmosphere and the amount of water in the soil and groundwater
