Deforestation The “Slashing and burning” of rainforests has to stop. The deforestation of our rainforests is effecting our environment and us more than you may think. We get the oxygen we need from trees‚ forests protect us from Carbon Dioxide‚ and forests protect most of Earth’s plants and animals. We need trees to breathe and rainforests to protect us from harsh things that we emit from our bodies. Many rainforests help and protect us. “More than 20% of the world’s oxygen comes from the Amazon”

The worldwide depend greatly on paper‚ wood and land has resulted in what is known as deforestation. Trees are felled so quickly that nature cannot replace them fast enough. We already lost half of our tropical forests. Every minute‚ around 6-football field size of rainforests is being destroyed. At this rate‚ the world’s forests could be totally destroyed in another few decades. Without trees‚ the soil will be eroded easily and there will be more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Besides these

In recent times‚ many developing countries such as Indonesia and Brazil do more logging than before that people believe developing countries need more income. However‚ other people think logging in the native forests should be banned that can protect wild animals and their natural habitat‚ and also can reduce global warming. In this essay‚ I will support the latter idea. Banned logging in native forests has some disadvantages. Firstly‚ it will decrease economy‚ and also will decrease the income

the world‚ deforestation has become a major problem. The rainforest is arguably the most complicated and largely interwoven ecosystem on land. However‚ this treasure is being lost and demolished day by day‚ the land being cleared away for the pure interest of money making‚ in the process of deforestation. Not only are thousands of species of organisms being driven to extinction‚ but we are also effectively eliminating any chance of studying many of the species. Also‚ deforestation has a major

04 Rainforests have been declining rapidly over the last few decades. There are various factors responsible for this decline‚ resulting in serious impacts on the environment and the economy. Critically discuss the causes of deforestation and solutions to it. Deforestation refers to the destruction of large areas of natural forests resulting in serious irreversible damage.

hardly‚ to think hard what had they do for their past to the nature. It happen when deforestation occurred! By definition‚ deforestation means the cutting or removal of trees from woodlands or forests in order to convert the land into commercial or logging reasons or for whatever purpose it may serve them (Hata 2008).

Deforestation of the Amazon: Causes‚ Effects and Possible Solutions NAME Geography 101‚ Section 040 PROFESSOR 6 December 2012 Abstract This paper explores the causes‚ effects and possible solutions of the deforestation of the Amazon Forest. It is important to understand why more than 580‚000 square kilometers of Amazon forest has been destroyed in Brazil since 1980 (Rhett Butler 2012). The main topics of this paper‚ in order to fully explore the issue at hand‚ will include:

It is nearly 6 million square kilometers in size and houses the widest variety of plant and animal life than any other place on the planet. It also is home to the second largest river on Earth‚ the Amazon River. The jungle is mostly in Brazil‚ but it also spreads to eight neighboring countries in South America; Bolivia‚ Peru‚ Ecuador‚ Colombia‚ Venezuela‚ Guyana

Deforestation in the Amazon rainforest and development in the rest of Brazil had led to many conflicting interests in the Amazon region. This is a global issue and can affect many lives e.g by global warming and other factors. The Brazilian rainforest is being used for natural resources‚ which is in great demand. This leads to deforestation (clearance of forest land). The rainforest is so important to people because without it there would be loss of wildlife‚ loss of medicine‚ soil erosion‚ decrease
