Deforestation Forests are vital for life‚ home to millions of species‚ they protect soil from erosion‚ produce oxygen‚ store carbon dioxide‚ and help control climate. Forests are also vital for us to live as they provide us with food‚ shelter and medicines as well as many other useful things. They also purify the air we breathe and water that we need to survive. Deforestation by humans is causing all of these necessary functions to be lessened‚ and hence damaging the atmosphere even further. Forests

Besides‚ deforestation increases the severity of global warming. All living plants store carbon (Venkataramanan‚ M & Smitha 2011). Unfortunately‚ we are currently destroying plants which are one of the best known mechanisms for storing carbon (Venkataramanan‚ M & Smitha 2011) besides oceanic processes such as solubility pump and biological pump through the burning of forests (Michael‚ E & Selin‚ H no date). The human conversion of forests into farmland and cities (Venkataramanan‚ M & Smitha 2011)

The destruction of the world’s forests is inevitable as our need for paper and timber grows. I believe this‚ because there are many ways that we‚ as a global population‚ are aiding in the annihilation of our rapidly receding forests. Therefore‚ as our need for land grows‚ our forests shrink. We need to be conscious of what we are losing when we eradicate our forests. Trees provide us with food‚ medicine‚ shelter‚ and warmth. Almost everything we eat that doesn’t come from an animal comes from plants

Deforestation and its Consequences On page 270 in our book it talks about deforestation. This topic really hit home with me as I have helped on a tree farm for 15 years. Our book talks about how we have lost 1% of our forests in North America between 1990 and 2010‚ even though this seems like a small amount (5 million hectares‚ or about 12.3 million acres) it is a big impact on the diversity in North America. In an article I found online about deforestation in North America‚ Deforestation refers

October 2014 Detriment of Deforestation Image a planet without trees. This is a scary planet where the temperature is very hot and the air is very difficult to breathe. This planet will have nothing to protect people from the sun‚ nothing to slowdown the forces of the wind‚ and nothing to anchor topsoil from eroding in the rain. The conditions at this imaginary planet can become our reality on earth if we do not stop deforestation. There are many negative effects of deforestation. However‚ for the scope

Modern-Day Plague Deforestation is clearing Earth’s forests on a massive scale‚ often resulting in damage to the quality of the land. 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. Forests are cut down for many reasons‚ but most of them are related to money or to people’s need to provide for their families.The biggest
