issues are deforestation‚ desertification‚ climate change‚ and pollution. A more general term used to identify these types of issues is Environmental Problems. Deforestation is a massive clearing of the Earth’s forests. Each year‚ strips of forest equivalent to the size of Panama are cut down and cleared. If these mass clearings continue at the rate they have been‚ all of the rain forests across the globe could cease to exist within one century. One major cause of deforestation is agriculture

about 14 so called mega-cities with 10 million people which are expected to double by 2015. The problem in China is also even grave. It is expected that the urban population would increase from 35%to 45% by 2010. However‚ migration leads to urbanisation which usually accompanies social and economic developments. In some developing countries like Africa the growth reflects rural crisis than urban based development. But reversely‚ migration to cities may affect the host place‚ place of origin and

article is the affect of deforestation on the environment‚ wildlife and climate change. Deforestation results in soil deterioration. Forests store nutrients that are required for all plant life. Without trees to fill these roles‚ many forest’s lands can quickly become barren deserts. Deforestation also impacts the habitat for million species. Majority of Earth’s land animals and plants live in forests‚ and many cannot survive the deforestation that destroys their homes. Deforestation also drives climate

Their Economic growth has increased rapidly due to industrialisation which has encouraged rural-urban migration to escape rural poverty. This has increased the size of some megacities to over 20 million such as Mumbai in India. In India hyper-urbanisation seems to have occurred as some cities have grown from less than 10 million to over 20 million in less than 25 years‚ e.g. Mumbai and Delhi. This must be due to huge rural-urban migration and internal growth. Growth in Latin America must be slower

This PSA surrounded the ever increasing problem of deforestation; the idea that humans are beginning to overexploit the resources that trees provide them with; and a major contributor to that would be manufacturing/building companies. The company’s main focus is to make money regardless of the impact that it has on society in the future; however‚ a great solution to this would be that even if companies do cut down trees the least they can do is replant them. This was one of the major messages that

Forests still cover about 30 percent of the world’s land area‚ but swaths the size of Panama are lost each and every year. The world’s rain forests could completely vanish in a hundred years at the current rate of deforestation. Environmental pollution due to lack of proper disposal of wastes ‚ emissions from automobiles

Deforestation is indeed the primary threat to the orangutan‚ a species of great ape known for its keen intelligence and the fact that it’s the largest animal to live primarily in trees. A 2007 assessment by the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) predicts that orangutans will be virtually eliminated in the wild within two decades if current deforestation trends continue. The great reddish-brown apes are native to the tropical rainforests of Indonesia and Malaysia‚ which are being cut down rapidly
