Environmental Safety And Reserve Conservation

Deforestation is the destruction of a wide area of forest land into a cleared land that is used for a variety of reasons. The impact on the environment from cutting down, burning and damaging forests is very detrimental and there are severe consequences for the environment and future generations because of deforestation. According to the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization approximately 7.3 million hectares of forests are being destroyed per year in the world (Bradford, 2015). In this essay, I will explore the impact that deforestation on the environment and I will also look at the actions that are being taken to prevent deforestation. There are various reasons why deforestation is occurring despite its negative effects on the environment. Deforestation can cause very serious environmental problems such as climate change, flooding, loss of habitats as well as others.

Imagine taking a look outside and not see anymore trees. The once thick and abundant forests completely gone. The beauty of nature completely wiped out. Imagine all the animals we know today not being around anymore. The animals that we take for granted and don't think twice about.This is all because of deforestation. Deforestation is the the act of clearing a wide area of trees. Deforestation comes in many forms, including fires, clear-cutting for agriculture, ranching and development, unsustainable logging for timber, and degradation due to climate change.(----) At the rate at which deforestation is occurring the later generations might never get to experience and see these luxuries. Some 46-58 thousand square miles of forest are lost each year—equivalent to 48 football fields every minute.(---) Deforestation also has many other effects on the planet. things The environmental costs of deforestation can include species extinction, erosion, flooding, reduced land productivity, desertification, and climate change and increased atmospheric carbon dioxide. As more habitat is destroyed, more species face extinctions.(“Deforestation” 3) In today’s world, deforestation is a problem and should be put to an end.

As we have seen an increase in awareness around sustainability and climate change, with the help of Al Gore’s Inconvenient Truth documentary in 2006, we see organizations moving towards mitigating the effects of climate change in various ways (Al Gore, n.d). As this corporate social responsibility has become more prevalent, organizations are now pushing their green agenda by publishing sustainability reports, doing mass marketing and implementing sustainable business practices to portray the image that they too are working towards protecting the earth’s natural environment all the while focusing on their underlying goal of selling their products and

To a regular person, the global concern about ‘going green’ might appear as a result of speculation from nervous politicians and alarmed citizens. But the reality is totally different. In recent years, businesses have gained much knowledge about the impact of their activities on environment and in turns their customers. Businesses are successively venturing to earn greater revenues. In this process, they are trying out every best possibility to entice their contributors- from customers to investors. Regardless to say, stakeholders these days are more socially responsible than ever. So to keep up to their expectations, businesses are also trying to expand or limit their activities to save the environment- from doing relentless research on lowering waste to lean management and even trying out various eco-friendly activities. Despite of all these, the ultimate question remains unanswered if it is financially beneficial to adapt those initiatives that is going to serve the

From 1990 to 2005, deforestation, or the removal of trees, was happening at an average rate of 13 million hectares (32.11 million acres) per year (Hope 247). In many ways, deforestation has been the reason for great economic success which turns people on to the idea even more. Deforestation is an essential element in promoting and encouraging developmental growth. Some places around the world may feel obligated to resort to deforestation due to population increases around the world. The concept of deforestation may seem to have a positive impact on society, but many people fail to consider the importance of replanting the trees that were harvested and removed. Deforestation mainly affects North and South America, but because of the Transamazon

Rainforest loss and deforestation is a problem that has been around for decades but it continues to worsen. A report from the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), says that all types of forests form around 30 percent of our world (Deforestation). Forests are home to millions of our animal and insect species that keep our world diverse. The forests that are being destroyed are also the growing grounds for millions of plants and trees. There are many pros and cons to deforestation, but the problems outweigh the good by far. Many other issues are starting arise from deforestation and people are always working to find new solutions to help rebuild our forests and save the animals and plants.

Deforestation is the process of cutting down forests to use their resources for other purposes. Deforestation is very common in developing nations, for example, those in Sub-Saharan Africa. This deforestation is often related to the levels of poverty and population growth in these nations (Uneke, 2009). Whether it is through the available resources and land (Afrane, 2008) offered by the forests or a job cutting down trees (Uneke, 2009), millions of people of surviving through deforestation.

Rainforests are vital for countless reasons; for example they produce the essential oxygen that all species need to survive. However, despite their significant importance, rainforests are disappearing at an alarming rate. Rinkesh states, “according to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, an estimated 18 million acres of forest are lost each year” (Rinkesh). The rapid loss of rainforests is due to deforestation, “the clearing, destroying, or otherwise removal of trees through deliberate, natural or accidental means” ("Effects of Deforestation"). While there are many valid reasons for deforestation, it’s important to consider the destructive consequences if the rapid rate of deforestation

There once was a time when rainforests had grown over fourteen percent of the Earth’s surface, now the rainforests manage to cover only six percent. This is due to deforestation. Deforestation of rainforests occur because of logging, powerplants cutting down and burning trees for electricity and as well as the paper industry causing its own damage. There are multiple factors for why rainforests are being destroyed, but the main root of the cause can be linked back to human’s havoc and upbringing of wasting resources. The future is technology, but mankind still will lay waste to their environments such as rainforests and the oceans. Rainforests and its inhabitants are currently in danger due to deforestation and human’s life choices will only lead them further into subjection which

Nowadays deforestation is the one of the most important and controversial environmental issues in the world. Deforestation is cutting down, clearing away or burning trees or forests. Particularly tropical rainforests are the most waning type of forests because of its location in developing countries such as Indonesia, the Philippines, India, central African countries and Brazil. Deforestation rate in those regions is high enough to worry about, because of large economic potential of forest areas. As the result of causes such as agriculture land expansion, logging for timber, fire blazing and settling infrastructure there might be serious impacts in future. For instance, extinction of endemic species of animals and plants which will be

Environmental issues affect every life on this planet from the smallest parasite to the human race. There are many resources that humans and animal needs to survive; some of the most obvious resources come from the forests. Forests make up a large percentage of the globe. The forests have global implications not just on life but on the quality of it. Trees improve the quality of the air that species breath, determine rainfall and replenish the atmosphere. The wood from the forests are used everyday form many useful resources. Moreover, thinning the forests increases the amount of available light, nutrients and water for the remaining trees. Deforestation (forest thinning) is one of the most

Deforestation is a commonly known environmental issue across our world today, yet still has a long posed threat to our earth. Deforestation is a permanent process of humans removing a forest or stand of trees where the land is later converted to a non-forest use. The forest covers over 30% of our planets land, and the ecosystems they create are essential for life. Not not only do forests produce vital oxygen but provides homes and shelter for people and wildlife. Forests provide a habitat for over 80% of the animals living on land and even for a large majority of humans, who rely on rainforests for their daily food. In addition they provide protection from flooding and sandstorms. But, deforestation is utterly diminishing them, at an extremely fast rate. It is estimated that 4 to 6,000 rainforest species go extinct each year.

Deforestation is defined in the dictionary as the “removal of a forest or stand of trees where the land is converted to a non forest use.” Common examples of deforestation include turning forestland to farms, ranches, or for urban use such as malls and housing. Forests still cover about thirty percent of the world’s land area, but according to National Geographic, “swaths the size of Panama are lost each and every year.” The world’s rain forests could completely vanish in a hundred years at the current rate of deforestation. Money and the need to provide for one’s family are the main reasons why forests are cut down. The biggest driver of deforestation is agriculture. Farmers cut forests to provide more room for planting crops or grazing livestock. Additionally, logging operations cut many trees each year. However, not all deforestation is intentional, a combination of human and natural factors like wildfires and overgrazing cause deforestation.

To start off, thirty percent of the world’s land are forests. (Anonymous, para. 1). However, the number of forests are dwindling down due to the deforestation that happens every year. Deforestation is “the act or result of cutting down or burning all the trees in an area” (Anonymous). Unfortunately, this damages the land. Deforestation has many factors of what causes the loss of trees. There are agriculture farmers that cut down trees to have more acres to grow more plants or to have more livestock. The trees are used for paper products. The trees are usually chopped down to make room for more homes since the urban living is increasing. Sometimes deforestation is an accident. A wildfire can happen by people or the forest is too dry. Trees are not able to grow because of an erosion. Deforestation has many effects towards the environment. “Seventy percent of Earth’s land animals and plants live in forests” (Anonymous, para. 6). Since species live in the forest, they would lose their homes which leads to millions of species of not having a place to live. The species can die out or become instinct. This messes up the life cycle for the forest because there can be more animals that harms the forest like gnawing on trees which can be harmful. Not only does it affect the species habitat, it can affect the climate. If the trees are chopped down, the sun blares down on the other plants which can dry the plants since the soil will lose its natural moisture. Since the plants are

Deforestation is a clearing of a wide area of into cleared land that is used for a variety of reasons. The impact on the environment from cutting down, burning and damaging forests is very detrimental and there will be severe consequences for the environment and future generations because of deforestation and approximately 7.3 million hectares of forests are being destroyed per year in the world.
