    Angela your post provided me with knowledge I never had before. I agree with you entirely. I think getting rid of the rainforest for agricultural industry would be a terrible idea. The rainforest provides us with so much that no where else in the world does. Even if the rainforest did not provide the world with important resources and species it would still be an unfit location to have an agricultural industry like the United States because of the climate and amount of rain fall they receive. Amazing…

    Rainforest store vast quantities of water but when deforestation happens, the stores water is lost. Since trees and plants are responsible for the extraction of groundwater from soil and then returning it back into the atmosphere where clouds are produced (transpiration), deforestation results in the water not being able to be released back into the atmosphere which affects the balance of water (transpiration rate decreases) . This may lead to dry climates which affects the living conditions of animals due to the lack of production for rainwater.…

    HCP also known as Habitat Conservation Plan is a plan under the Endangered Species Act that aims to allow development from private sectors, landowners, and government, but at the same time also provide conservation to the environment. The plan is designed to protect habitat and to assist in species recovery on public and private property. Even though many claim that habitat conservation plan is effective in providing economic growth and conservation in urbanizing areas, there are still many conflicts surrounding private property rights. Some people are even saying that HCP is actually assisting in habitat destruction and that it is not beneficial to the environment at all. Also, there are mixed reviews within the public.…

    Latin America Pros And Cons

    Recently, we gave our comprehensive analysis of the Pro side of the April Public Forum resolution, Resolved: The continuation of current U.S. anti-drug policies in Latin America will do more harm than good. Today, we’re discussing the Con side, which, while slightly trickier, if done properly can be argued very persuasively. To recap, the pro’s argument is, essentially, that drugs are such an intractable and complex issue that any law enforcement-oriented solution is likely to simply escalate violence and jeopardize relationships with Latin American countries for minimal gain. Conversely, as we will discuss today, the con must argue that there are tangible benefits…

    Amazon Rainforest

    In the Amazon Rainforest, new research is being done that has completely changed the way that we now see the Amazon. European accounts from centuries ago, tell of large Amazonian cities all up and down its banks. This idea was thought to be untrue due to finding that the Amazon soils were not actually fertile at all. But, that idea is now being challenged, with the finding of, terra preta. The reason that I decided to choose this topic is because I think it needs much more attention than it is given. Until this class, I had zero knowledge of Native Americans living in the Amazon at all. Therefore, I choose this topic because it has gone through large amounts of change in recent years and deserves more concentration. Lastly, this topic both…

They say that the paper producing factory is responsible for 50% of all the wastes dumped into our countries water and also 5.6% of global air contaminations. Many of people have tried to shut down this paper factory because they use chemicals that could be a huge risk to human safety.

    The worst impact deforestation has on the amazon rainforest is the loss of habitat for many important species. This has greatly impacted the habitats of species in the Amazon rainforest. There are about ten million species that have been discovered by man living on earth. More than half of these species live in tropical rainforests such as the Amazon. Many keystone species and apax predators have habitats in the Amazon. A keystone species is a species that has many important interactions within a community. They are responsible for supporting the community and their absence can cause trophies cascades. This means that without a keystone species, the entire community will fall apart because it will have nothing holding it together. An apax predator,…

    Amazon Deforestation

    • 2411 Words
    • 10 Pages

    Every year an approximate 32 million acres of forest are destroyed which is equivalent to about 50,000 square miles (Kremen 1). These forests that are being torn down provide communities and wildlife with resources such as food, water, medicine, and shelter as well as breathable air. At the rate that forests are being cut down we are not able to replant them due to lack of funding and space. Many of the lands that were once forests are now homes to factories that encourage more deforestation. Although it may not seem relevant to some people of the United States, this country still benefits from rain forests around the world. The United State’s government does have some economic incentives for preserving forests in the U.S. and other countries,…
