5/1/2010 Deforestation It is impossible to overstate the importance of humankind ’s clearing of the forests. The transformation of forested lands by human actions represents one of the great forces in global environmental change and one of the great drivers of biodiversity loss. The impact of people has been and continues to be profound. Forests are cleared‚ degraded and fragmented by timber harvest‚ conversion to agriculture‚ road-building‚ human-caused fire‚ and in myriad other ways. The effort

Not only that‚ the initiations of government or non-government bodies associated with human trafficking will certainly make a significant difference.

LAND POLLUTION TYPE: DEFORESTATION 1. INTRODUCTION Deforestation: is the removal of trees as well as other plants from forest areas much more quickly than they can be replanted or regenerated naturally.

Besides‚ deforestation increases the severity of global warming. All living plants store carbon (Venkataramanan‚ M & Smitha 2011). Unfortunately‚ we are currently destroying plants which are one of the best known mechanisms for storing carbon (Venkataramanan‚ M & Smitha 2011) besides oceanic processes such as solubility pump and biological pump through the burning of forests (Michael‚ E & Selin‚ H no date). The human conversion of forests into farmland and cities (Venkataramanan‚ M & Smitha 2011)

The destruction of the world’s forests is inevitable as our need for paper and timber grows. I believe this‚ because there are many ways that we‚ as a global population‚ are aiding in the annihilation of our rapidly receding forests. Therefore‚ as our need for land grows‚ our forests shrink. We need to be conscious of what we are losing when we eradicate our forests. Trees provide us with food‚ medicine‚ shelter‚ and warmth. Almost everything we eat that doesn’t come from an animal comes from plants

Deforestation Carolyn Hurford 2nd Hour 4/1/13 “Deforestation is clearing Earth ’s forests on a massive scale‚ often resulting in damage to the quality of the land. Forests still cover about 30 percent of the world’s land area‚ but swaths the size of Panama are lost each and every year.” said by National Geographic. People only think of themselves when demolishing a forest‚ but they don ’t really think of themselves and certainly not all the animals that need to survive in forests. If only 30%

This planet will have nothing to protect people from the sun‚ nothing to slowdown the forces of the wind‚ and nothing to anchor topsoil from eroding in the rain. The conditions at this imaginary planet can become our reality on earth if we do not stop deforestation. There are many negative effects of deforestation. However‚ for the scope
