What is the importance of forest that makes all the living organisms lives depend on them? Forest is a natural gift from our mother earth that supplies habitat for living organisms, food, oxygen and natural resources. What is the definition of deforestation? It is an activity which brings permanent damage to the forests and make uses of the land for other purposes. There is about an estimated of 18 million acres (7.3 million hectares) of trees are chopped down which is roughly the size of the country
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
taken for granted and theref¬ore not valued in money. Examples are microorganism’s release of nutrients, their degradation of pollutants in air, soil and water, pollination of insects and vegetation, and water-regulating effects. Knowledge of the importance of different species and interaction works and what disappearances that can disrupt ecological processes is still inadequate. Here follows four direct drivers of change that poses the most significant threats to the ecosystem services. Biological
forests are cleared for cropland or pastures are developed for livestock production and the soil is exposed to rain and wind energy [55,72]. Deforestation-defined as the conversion of forested land to other uses, or a permanent reduction of canopy cover has attracted increasing international attention in recent years(FAO,2004).Annually, the rate of global deforestation is round 13 million hectares , most of which occurs in the developing world(FAO,2010;CIFOR,2005). Forest communities use their surroundings
Cooking is a one of the major and importance requirement for people all over the word. This is because people must cooked to make sure the food that their take are in safe and free from harmful bacteria. Besides that, wood also is a major necessities for people in rural area in poor countries use for cooking. They cut tree to make a firewood as their energy source of fuel. For the other source like charcoal and gas is very expensive in certain countries. In Africa for example, cooking energy represent
hectares deforested per year are the most widely accepted (Cunningham, 2009). Forests not only provide oxygen through photosynthesis, but they are also homes for animals, sources of clean water, and as previously mentioned, filters of carbon dioxide. Deforestation causes approximately 2 giga tons of carbon to be released in the air. If forests are continued to be depleted, animals will lose their habitat, clean and natural water will become contaminated, and the carbon will no longer be absorbed due to the
These rainforests hold the life of 300,000 different animal species, many of which are injured, killed or displaced because of deforestation. One animal of particular importance according to conservationists is the orangutan, which has become a charismatic icon for deforestation. This is because throughout the past 20 years, over 90% of orangutan habitat has been destroyed at the hands of the Palm Oil industry. As a species sharing 97% of our DNA with
transform their surroundings through developing the quality of life in a sustainable manner. That call was a result of the ecological imbalances of the biosphere, because of the disruption of the environment through polluting the air, water and deforestation to say the least. The UNCHE at Stockholm also noticed the difference in environmental problems affecting the developing and industrialised countries. The document provide by the UNCHE stipulates that in developing countries the sustainable problems
According to the first United Nations conference on human environment in Stockholm in 1972, environmental conservation is a global concern (UNEP, 1972). The Conference highlighted the importance of relating environment to development. Later, the legitimacy of this issues were formalized at a United Nations conference on environment and development (UNCED) held in Rio de Janeiro in 1992 (UNCED, 1992). The conference was convened in order to discuss on the way forward in tackling this crisis. This
vegetation and built-up land have been increased by 3.51% (9.39 km2) and 3.55% (9.48 km2) while agriculture, barren land and water body have decreased by 1.52% (4.06 km2), 5.46% (14.59 km2) and 0.08% (0.22 km2), respectively.
