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

this activity is a stepping stone for a transition towards one hundred percent renewable energy (“Climate”, n.d.). Aside from the WWF, Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD), an environmental group, has been trying to implement forest protection in relation to carbon gas emission. According to the REDD, deforestation accounts for nearly twenty percent of global greenhouse gas emissions (UN-REDD Programme, n.d.). Due to this, REDD’s
The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) In 1991 and 1992, the governments of the United States, Canada, and Mexico sought an agreement that would reduce, and ultimately remove, all barriers to the free flow of goods, services, and production between the three countries. This regional economic integration agreement would go into effect and became law on January 1, 1994 and became known as the North American Free Trade Agreement or NAFTA for short (Hill, 2013). The main components of the NAFTA
Their lives are threatened by poaching, deforestation and habitat loss, and conflicts with humans. Conservation organization, WWF, said the termination of conversion of natural forest habitat of Sumatran elephants as soon as possible is needed to protect the future of the large mammal population.
b. The graph from Table 1 is showing an exponential type of graph because due to the quantity in the population increasing at a fixed percentage per unit for time at 2% per year. Exponential graphs start off slowly however; it leads to the quantity to double each time. One can see that in the exponential growth graph the rate levels off although, the population continues to grow. c. One possible cause of the exponential growth trend graphed in part a. could be the increase in both technology and
Climate Change Climate change – To What extent is man’s responsible for an increase in global temperature? The world’s climate is changing, and the changes will have an enormous impact on our planet’s people, ecosystems, cities, and energy use. Also, Global warming may affect the average global air temperature is already 1.5 degrees to 0.15 degrees due to carbon emission. However, the changes could be significant with its small but dispersed in the future. Most experts and researches have proved
British Columbia, Canada, largely considered one of the main hotspots in North America, where over 80% of its grass prairie habitat has been lost for agriculture. The same can be said for Madagascar. Alok Jha, a science correspondent for the guardian newspaper, coins Madagascar as a jewel in biodiversity terms because of its isolation from the major continents. Unfortunately, Madagascar has seen the worst of human exploitation. Increase in Madagascar’s population prompted deforestation such as logging

Firewood It is widely used in villages for cooking and heating. In India more than fifty per cent of the energy used by villagers comes from fire wood. It is very harmful for the environment. It is also the main cause of greenhouse effect and deforestation. Fossil fuel Fossil fuels are found in sedimentary rocks. Millions of years ago, plants and animals which were buried under the earth got converted into oil and gas due to the heat and pressure. Coal, oil, natural gas, shale gas etc. are the fossil
