I think the best move for Robin and his Merry Men would be to explore new territories outside of the forest. This would decrease the number of men in one area which would eliminate the issues for food and the risk of being spotted. Since he has two strong leaders in Little John and Will Scarlett he could split up his

Introduction A forest is an area of land with many trees. Many animals need forests to live and survive. Forests are very important and grow all over the world. Many forests are being cut down for houses to be built because of overpopulation. This cutting down of forests is called deforestation and it is causing damage to the natural habitat of animals. Even roads have been built for the peoples to pass though the forest to reach their destination. People have gotten rid of forest to build towns

Introduction Forests are the dominant terrestrial ecosystem on Earth‚ and are distributed across the globe. Forests account for 75% of the gross primary productivity of the Earth’s biosphere‚ and contain 80% of the Earth’s plant biomass. (Yude‚ 2013). Human society and forests influence each other in both positive and negative ways. (Vogt‚ 2007). Forests provide ecosystem services to humans‚ but also impose economic‚ environmental‚ health and aesthetic costs. Human interactions with the forest‚ including

Michelle Graf 7/1/2012 It is obvious the importance of the forest vegetation to everyone in the society. However‚ people in the past ages did a kind of thing that they thought was very meaningful—cutting down the trees. When they recall this history‚ most of them cannot be restrained from their remorse and guilty to it. Trees or forest are things that not only protect the environment but also help people to live better. Destroy of forest and deforestation brings a great many of harm to the environments

land animals and plants live in forests‚ and many cannot survive the deforestation that destroys their homes. Deforestation also drives climate change. Forest soils are moist‚ but without protection from sun-blocking tree cover they quickly dry out. Trees also help perpetuate the water cycle by returning water vapor back into the atmosphere. Without trees to fill these roles‚ many former forest lands can quickly become barren deserts. Removing trees deprives the forest of portions of its canopy‚ which

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 to use and subdue the forest has been a constant theme in the transformation

Mihailo Ivanovic Writing and Rhetoric II 52-1152-18 Dr. Jennifer Ailles 4/23/2014 The Devastation of Deforestation According to National Geographic‚ forests cover about thirty percent of the Earth’s land area. This percentage is falling drastically. Deforestation is the process of forests being cleared through logging and/or burning to use for timber or to use the area for other purposes. Many estimate that the Earth’s rainforests will be completely wiped out in 100 years. The World Wildlife Fund

We can use the forests more sustainable in four different ways if we will just think about it. If we as a whole would emphasize the economic value of a forest’s ecological services‚ protect our old-growth forest‚ harvest trees no faster than they can replenish‚ and use a more sustainable substitute resource (Miller Jr.‚ 2007).

The rain forest is an environment that is rainy and humid. The rain forest only has one season because it’s weather and temperature never change. The temperature never changes because of the high humidity rate and waters thermal resistance. The rain forest has direct sunlight that provides light and heat but indirect only provides light. Rain forests have an average temperature of 80 degrees fahrenheit. The temperature may feel hotter due to the high humidity rate. Rain forests can receive
