The end result of cutting down of trees
Eller (2009) stated over the past years there has been a radical change, where more than 30 million trees are cut-down every year. Africa is accountable for 17 percent of the worlds’ plantation as it covers 520 million hectares Hennig (2004). In Africa 28 trees are cut-down down with, only one tree being replanted. An important issue concerning the environment will be critically analyzed by showing the end result of deforestation and soil erosion. Deforestation Occurs when earths’ forests on a massive scale often resulting in damage to the quality of land. A contributing factor that has resulted into deforestation has agriculture as the driving force. According to UNFCCC (2014) secretariat concluded, subsistence farming is responsible for 48% of deforestation, commercial agriculture is responsible for 32% of deforestation, and logging is responsible for 14% of deforestation, fuel and wood removal 5% of deforestation. For example, Eller (2009) specified paper wasted and used inattentive and not reprocessed, increases landfill being over fall that it results in fire holes that they produce fumes which are released into neighborhoods. As a tree grows it absorbs carbon and store it throughout, however if a tree dies it decays and releases carbon dioxide into the air. Therefore when a tree is destroyed it contributes to climate change by the release of carbon dioxide and permantely ending ability of carbon dioxide in the future. As more and more paper is required companies are forced to destroy the forests quicker than paper is produced. Soil erosion Another contributing factor is the forests are cut-down by farmers for either planting crops or livestock. The more clearing of land decreases the biodiversity and the interaction between the animals is destroyed which actually increases the gap in the ecosystem and destroys the species. According to the Environmental effects on cocoa production (2014) more and more land is
