down. Deforestation should be banned as it is the deliberate destruction of nature. With the destruction of forest there will be an imbalance which would have a negative effect on the environment. Endangered species of flora and fauna will become in danger of extinction‚ as well as climates and weather change‚ will occur. These can be in form of soil erosion‚ flooding and global warming. Deforestation which is the cutting down or destruction of forest is also the destruction of our environment for

Abstract Deforestation is occurring around the world at an unprecedented pace. It is a vast and widespread phenomenon. Throughout the forests of virtually every continent‚ people are destroying valuable forests either for purposes of living or trade. Housing and urbanization‚ conversion to cropland and pasture‚ and illegal logging are causing rapid deforestation. As a result of deforestation‚ the ecosystem has been loss‚ precipitation also occurs and it increasing the global warming. To overcome

CONSEQUENCES OF DEFORESTATION In some cases‚ deforestation can be beneficial. Given the right mix of social needs‚ economic opportunities‚ and environmental conditions‚ it can be a rational conversion from one type of land use to a more productive one. The tragedy lies in the fact that most lands that have been deforested in recent decades are not suited for long-term farming or ranching and they quickly degrade once the forest has been cut and burnt. Unlike the fertile soils of temperate latitudes

With increasing population‚ the need for forest products‚ such as‚ fuel‚ timber‚ bamboo grasses etc. increased dramatically for habitation. Hence deforestation becomes a permanent feature of our normal life. The single largest problem faced by the developing world for dwindling in their forest resources is deforestation. Causes of Deforestation: The main cause of the present day crisis is increasing population. Majority of people living in rural areas depend on forest for their firewood for

DEFORESTATION AND SPECIES LOSS 1.0 WHAT IS DEFORESTATION? Deforestation is the process whereby natural forests are cleared through logging and/or burning‚ either to use the timber or to replace the area for alternative uses. 2.0 WHAT IS THE EXTENT OF DEFORESTATION? 12-15 million hectares of forest are lost each year‚ the equivalent of 36 football fields per minute. 3.0 WHAT ARE THE MAJOR CAUSES OF DEFORESTATION? Deforestation can happen quickly‚ such as when a fire sweeps through the

Count: 504 words. El Salvador is on the most deforested countries in the region. Explain how and why this problem should be solved. Deforestation is the permanent devastation of forests. Deforestation happens in many ways: when trees are cut down to grow crops‚ logging so wood can be used for building things like houses‚ for roads and neighborhoods‚ and forest fires. Deforestation is affecting our country. At least eighty percent of our forests have been destroyed. Although there may be a

DEFORESTATION 1. OVERVIEW Forests cover 31% of the land area on our planet. They produce vital oxygen and provide homes for people and wildlife. Many of the world’s most threatened and endangered animals live in forests‚ and 1.6 billion people rely on benefits forests offer‚ including food‚ fresh water‚ clothing‚ traditional medicine and shelter. But forests around the world are under threat from deforestation‚ jeopardizing these benefits. Deforestation comes in many forms‚ including fires

Deforestation is clearing Earth’s forests on a massive scale‚ often resulting in damage to the quality of the land. Deforestation is a problem that is caused largely by greed and want for property‚ money and possibly status. In many parts of the world the forest is taken for granted as a replenishable resource‚ which it is. The problem is that the trees cannot be regrown and replanted at the rate at which they are being cut down. For this reason the forests are declining at an incredible rate and

DEFORESTATION INTRODUCTION The clearing of tropical forests across the Earth has been occurring on a large scale for many years. This process‚ known as deforestation‚ involves the cutting down‚ burning‚ and damaging of forests. If the current rate of deforestation continues‚ the world’s rain forests will vanish soon‚ causing unknown effects on global climate and eliminating the majority of plant and animal species on the planet. It would also change the water and oxygen levels dramatically

In the same way land grabbers are capturing the forests and making big buildings. Deforestation not only involves the tree destruction but also manages the wild animals. They as much block the natural circle and this ultimately results into race destruction. This action has long-lasting effect on the survival of human race. Deforestation involves the cutting down‚ burning‚ and damaging of forests. Deforestation can be defined as the change of forest with depletion of tree crown cover more than
