save tree
Trees are very important for our survival in many ways. They clean the soil by filtering sewage and chemicals used in farms. They help control noise pollution and reduce flash flooding.
Trees absorb carbon dioxide which contributes to global warming. They also clean the air by absorbing pollutants like carbon monoxide and sulphur dioxide. They also help to lower temperatures. They give shade during the summer and act as windbreaks during winter if they are located on the windward side.
They also prevent soil erosion. It is seen that the presence of trees in an area can increase property values by at least 15%. For all these reasons it is very important for us to save trees and increase the green cover of the earth. We can start by planting more trees in our neighborhood.
If we see any indiscriminate felling of trees, we can petition the authorities to stop it. Using less paper products is also a way to save trees for the paper industry needs trees to make paper. Using the computer to store data reduces the need to use paper. In all these ways we can help save trees.
. Some wildlife species like the rhinoceros, cheetah, elephant, crocodile, snake etc. are hunted by the poachers. There are persons of much daring who go into the forest stealthily without the knowledge of the wildlife department authorities and shoot the animals which may be a source of great gain to them.
Poachers have long been active in several parts of the world. The elephants are killed for their tusks of great value. A pair of tusks in the international market may fetch an enormous amount to the poachers. The wildlife department authorities are unable to put a stop to poaching despite their utmost vigilance. The African elephants and the Asian elephants are killed for their tusks. The late forest brigand, Veerappan of India, traded in the elephant tusks. It was very difficult for the Government to catch him alive or to shoot him.
At last the Tamil Nadu Government put an end to his

    A rapidly growing trade for the Transnational Organized Crime groups is the illegal wildlife trade. “By its very nature, it is almost impossible to obtain reliable figures for the value of illegal wildlife trade. Experts at TRAFFIC, the wildlife trade monitoring network, estimate that it runs into hundreds of millions of dollars.” (2015).

    Poachers poach for the ivory off of the animals, such as the tusks of an elephant and the horns of the rhinos. The ivory trade has accelerated in the past five years. Ivory is now worth more in its weight than gold. When a poacher poaches an animal they only take the tusks or horns and then leave the rest of the animal. People have tried to make laws but the traders alway find a way around them. Traders will change their trade routs. 100 tons of ivory has been found from Namibia. 90% of ivory sale is in China. In 2007 the ivory trade doubled this meant that more and more animals were being killed just for ivory. There was a transporter who was fined 3,000 dollars for smuggling two tons of ivory.

    Poaching, as defined by Webster, is the illegal practice of trespassing on another's property to hunt or steal game without the landowner's permission. Today, that definition seems slightly vague as the nature of poaching has changed drastically in recent years. Poaching is an ever growing epidemic that plagues every continent of this world. Animals of every type are pursued for a variety of economic reasons despite the ecological consequences associated with disrupting the natural order of life in the animal kingdom. While efforts taken to stop illegal hunting are noteworthy, these efforts seem futile as those who pursue the poachers are frequently outmanned and outgunned.…

    It is said that Mother nature has given many responsibilities to the trees. Without the trees in the rainforest, it could have global implications not just on life but the quality of life to all living things. Trees in the rainforest improve the quality of the oxygen that all creatures breathe by trapping carbon and other particles produced by pollution. Trees also determine rainfall and replenish the atmosphere. As more water is able to be put back in the atmosphere, clouds form and provide another way to block out the sun’s heat. Trees are what cool and regulate the earth’s climate in conjunction with other such valuable services as preventing erosion, landslides, and making the most infertile soil rich with life (Connor, 2009).…

    Despite the issues from poaching many believe that the money made from poaching is more important. The Independent News wrote an article that states “ The Obama Administration destroyed the U.S. Reserve of elephants tusks.” This disproves the opposition because now more action is being taken to stop the trade of ivory and to stop poaching so that poacher will not be able to make money. The opposition is wrong because no amount of money is equivalent to a human or animal live. Poachers should stop poaching because they are the reason for many people…

    Animal wildlife is something that should be treasured and protected, not devastated by inconsiderate poachers. Poaching has contributed to the extinction of animal species all over the world. Some of the species that have been affected and have gone extinct are the Tasmanian tiger, the eastern cougar, the eastern elk, the black rhino and numerous amounts of bird species (IDA). Poachers usually kill wildlife in order to make tax free profit from the wildlife’s resources which can be antlers, meat, teeth, pelts, or anything valuable on the animal. The sport of hunting is accepted by most of the country, 79 percent to be accurate (Brassard, 2013). Although hunting legally is accepted, poaching is something that nearly everyone despises and would like to get rid of. What many…
