A place that could be considered a food desert near me would be Warner Robins, a densely populated urban area.

Deforestation is the clearing of forests to make way for new, non-forest land uses, such as urban development or agriculture, transforming a forest into cleared land (“Deforestation and Afforestation”). When thinking about deforestation, the first place that comes in anyone’s mind is Brazil, because that is where the Amazon rainforest is located and it was once known to have the highest deforestation rate in the world. However, Canada, which accounts for “10 percent of the world’s forests…now accounts for 21 percent of all deforestation in the world” (Okolo). Due…

    The island of the Dominican Republic has a wide range of biodiversity due to its isolation, tourists bringing in nonnative fauna and flora, and most of all due to the range of biomes within their country. The natural biomes that occur in the Dominican Republic vary from very dry biomes to very wet biomes. The most common biome in the Dominican Republic is subtropical coniferous forests, due to low levels of precipitation and adequate temperature variability. These trees have needle-leafs in order to adapt to drought. This type of biome shares some of the flora and fauna common to tropical and subtropical savannas, dry broadleaf forests, as well as moist broadleaf forests. The understory is composed of diverse vegetation made of shrubs and small trees. Many different species of migratory birds and butterflies spend their winters in this biome.…
