General vegetation and forest types Extensive variations in physiographical condition resulted in a wide range of vegetation patterns in Wayanad district. The flora of Wayanad district is characteristic of the Western Ghats. The forest area in the district is administratively divided into Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary (Sulthan Bathery, Muthanga, Kurichiad and Tholpetty ranges-344.44 Km2) and other reserve forests. The reserve forest of the district is under two administrative divisions namely Wayanad
subtropical dry forest are the type of biomes in Sudan. Among the ones mentioned above, the blue nile basin are mostly surrounded by grass savanna. The main ecosystems in Ethiopia are categorized into 10 different ecosystems. There are Afroalpine and Subafroalpine Ecosystem, Montane Grassland Ecosystem, Dry Evergreen Mountain Forest and Evergreen Scrub Ecosystem, Montane Moist Forest Ecosystem, Acacia-Commiphora Woodland Ecosystem, Combretum-Terminalia Ecosystem, Lowland Tropical Forest Ecosystem, Desert
Cutting Down Trees Affect the Environment? Trees and humans need each other in order to survive because humans make carbon dioxide while trees absorb 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
Although there many are attributes directly associated with Orang Asli and and their wise use of natural resources, we focused specifically on three major attributes, namely documentation of medicinal plants and knowledge of their use, traditional forest-related knowledge and conservation of natural resources. These attributes were broadly based on the ecosystem services identified in line with local and international policies, including the National Policy on Biological Diversity and CBD. The indigenous
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, 1994) as it is shrinking areas of the tropical forests which cause the loss of biodiversity and it enhances of the greenhouse effects (Angelsen, 1999). The removal of forests involves a permanent end of the forest to make the land available for agricultural
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 them” (Explore 100 Famous).Animals die each day due to Deforestation around the globe, 11 species have already gone
Environmentally Sensitive Area in 2004. The Matura National Park is a great area of primary tropical forest. There exist no present immediate invasive threats from human development or agricultural activities. Research shows that the area has important biodiversity values as there are over 200 species of trees and lianas recorded in the Matura National Park. There were also found to be seven endemic trees and one endemic fern tree in the Matura National Park. It has also been observed that seven of the
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
Introduction In every model of economics there must be the good and bad outcomes because there are no perfect models in the economic system. In this case we will talk about the Multi centric organizational model. Multi-centric organizational model is a model that developed by David Ricardo (1772-1823), in this model he focused more on distribution, whereas Adam Smith more focused on the production side on the market model. In this model there are premises like in the market model also, the premises
the conversion of areas with continuous forests to areas with remnants of patches in a matrix of non forest vegetation. Consequently, fragments size, degree of diversity and time directly influences the density of birds in fragments and across the landscape as a whole. Some species will always be exterminated because by chance their habitats within the landscape will all be destroyed. Species distribution patterns are usually patchy in the tropical rain-forest landscape and this increases the likelihood
