DEFORESTATION In the development country, the increasing need of a land space for agricultural, industrial and residential; and the most importantly urban development needs are required with the growing of population. In other terms, deforestation means that the clearing or felling of forest which covered by the tree plantations in order to accommodate agricultural, industrial or any urban development needs. Deforestation is primarily a concern for the developing countries of the tropics (Myers
Deforestation is the removal of a forest, a large area of trees or an ecosystem for nonforest use by humans. The environment impacts of deforestation have worsened over the years. The disruption of the carbon cycle through deforestation has resulted in lower rates of oxygen production and higher rates of carbon dioxide which is released into the atmosphere. More trees are being harvested by humans which are resulting in less oxygen being produced. Trees are being harvested for housing, expansion
Jack W. Cockerham Mrs.Gallos ENG 3 Honors 22 March 2018 Deforestation in the world The world is being torn apart day by day. The emission of greenhouse gases, riots around the world, and drug abuse are huge contributors. However, none quite match the destruction of Deforestation. Nearly 7 billion trees are cut down every year around the globe, which is nearly 55600 trees every minute. “Humanity is cutting down its forests, apparently oblivious to the fact that we may not be able to live without
on animal endangerment. I will first review how deforestation and disease affects animal’s health and population that would later lead to animal endangerment. Each animal is essential for survival of ecosystems on earth. Lastly I will discuss how humans can help animals in danger of being endangered. Human involvement that caused animal endangerment Deforestation Deforestation is a serious issue and is a problem for endangered species. Deforestation is a destruction of forests in order to make room
excluded in the changes on Earth, and all suffer a great deal from human settlements. Amid the human events committed, one of them would be human settlement across the Earth. Human settlement has affected our us, among those are light pollution, deforestation, and the disruption of animal life. Pollution is the introduction of contaminants into our natural environment such as water, air, and light. Water pollution can be caused by sewage, liquid chemicals, and oil discharged into rivers and other bodies
the carbon that they make. Trees help give shelter, warmth, and everyday materials with agriculture. Deforestation is such a bad epidemic that most people don’t understand how it can affect everyone and the environment. By taking trees it makes loss of habitat, warm weather, soil erosion, and less clean air. People who cut down trees illegally tend to cut down more than is needed. Deforestation is a good but bad way for people to get the materials they need, and the loss of over 1000 different species
2.2 Causes of land use changes Land use change is usually a result of many combined factors arising from different phases of organisation. The combined causes of land use change differ with time, space and environment(Lambin et al., 2003). There are direct causes of land use change which includes population growth, economic growth and initiation of policy, laws ad legislations (Morara et al., 2014). 2.2.1Population growth Population growth has been the fundamental driver of land use change all

If political, economic systems, social, cultural are to remain secure and safe, the environment must
The Devastating Environmental Effects of Deforestation The government enacting stricter conservation laws helps end deforestation problems such as the destruction of wildlife, forest fires, flooding, and increasing global temperatures. With the population rising quickly, demand is rising globally for biofuels, food, and living space (“The World” 2). Deforestation is there to solve the problem, but not without a hefty cost. As of 2013, every minute on earth 50 football fields of forest vanish due
Deforestation Introduction Deforestation is commonly defined as the permanent destruction, clearance, and removal of forests to make the land able to be converted for other purposes. Forests play a big role to maintain the land ecosystem as it has a vast coverage at around 31% of the land area on planet Earth. Forests around the world, no matter any type, are rich with biodiversity. Some of the greatest concentrations of species are found in the tropics. However, tropical rainforests are being cleared
