know it is at stake. Forests‚ in particular‚ can be found all over the world and are a vitally important part of our planet because they cover much of its surface and are abundant with both animals and natural resources. From tropical forests to temperate forests‚ these habitats are all important. Humans exploit many of the products of these forests‚ particularly timber. Unfortunately‚ some do not harvest timber in a responsible‚ sustainable manner. Because of this‚ forests are shrinking‚ habitats

Some specific places this biome and climate exist is in Central America‚ South America‚ Africa and the Indonesian archipelago. The two largest rain forests are The Amazon in South America and in central Africa centered on the drainage basin of the Congo River.

They as much block the natural circle and this ultimately results into race destruction. This action has long-lasting effect on the survival of human race. Deforestation involves the cutting down‚ burning‚ and damaging of forests. Deforestation can be defined as the change of forest with depletion of tree crown cover more than 90%. However‚ depletion of forest tree crown

When rain forests are cut down‚ much of the moisture in the ecosystem is lost‚ leading to droughts and further devastation of species. More than half of the world ’s estimated 10 million species of plants‚ animals and insects live in the tropical rainforests and one fifth of the world ’s fresh water is in the Amazon Basin (Rainforest Facts‚ 1996).

Earth without forests is a picture that most of humankind could not presently conceive. Unfortunately‚ the Amazon Rainforest is on this path of devastation. With more than half of the world’s biodiversity in rainforests across the world and about 20% of the world’s oxygen produced by the Amazon‚ it is vital that the threat of deforestation comes to an end. It is widely known that trees across the globe are disappearing‚ but much of the general public is uninformed how urgent and serious the threats

The tropical rain forests once blanketed the Earth like a wide green belt around the equator. Just a few thousand years ago forests covered 14 percent of the Earth ’s land surface‚ or 5 billion acres. Humans already have destroyed half of this rain forest area‚ with most damage occurring in the last 200 years. Many of the main causes of the rainforest destruction include: logging‚ agriculture-shifted‚ cultivators‚ agricultures-cash‚ crops and cattle‚ ranching‚ fuelwood‚ large dams‚ mining and
