and these include Agricultural Expansion, Livestock Ranching, Logging, Infrastructure Expansion and Overpopulation. Logging is one of the biggest contributors to deforestation considering that it brings in a large revenue. People may argue that large logging operations need to stay in business because it creates jobs for people. If the logging companies are harvesting trees the right way and replanting seedlings after they are done logging then it will become a renewable resource. There are many solutions
to criminal groups; with the only relation they have to each other is the commodity they smuggle. Because of this and the illicit market drive of demand and supply, traditional means of increasing police, destroy criminal groups, and increasing illegal trafficking penalties does little to reduce the demand and supply. In order to reduce the flow of trafficked commodities, states should reduce the supply and demand of the illicit industries. This essay will now discuss the state security challenges
protection (Bradford, 2015). In this report, the impacts of deforestation in economics, politics, and international dimension point of view will be scrutinized. II. Explanation of problem Deforestation is a long term degradation of forest by burning or logging the forest in a large amount in order to clear the large area of forest lands which related to ecosystem for non forest use. Since the industrial age started, millions of animals and the other living things have been endangered, about half of the
the air we breathe, we are still allowing them to disappear at shockingly high rates through deforestation. High deforestation rates, primarily as a result of the growing demand for agriculture, fuel use and production, fires, timber harvesting, logging, and pasture and clearing for livestock animals due to the exponential growth in human population, can be prevented through the requirement of
Frontierism plays a huge role in contributing to deforestation in America because it is enabling various logging companies to rationalize the need for wood. The demand for timber seems to be increasing in America as the rate of our forests decrease. The selfishness involved with this whole idea of frontierism is an outrage. Americans need to be further educated
biodiverse ecosystem of the Yaak Valley benefits its human and non-human inhabitants and we should protect it from the detrimental effects of human activities, especially the violent changes caused by large timber companies and their practice of clear-cut logging. There are sustainable and pragmatic solutions that would address both human needs and protecting the biodiverse ecosystem. The Yaak Valley of Northern Montana is one of the most biodiverse areas of untouched wilderness in the contiguous United
The biggest opposition to the protection of these wilderness areas is logging companies, who profit off clear cutting timber as quickly and efficiently as possible. These companies then sell off the deforested land and move their operations elsewhere. Clear cutting forests can have some benefits in specific instances, such as preventing the spread of disease or saving millions of dollars in Wildland firefighting costs ("Biodiversity and the Cost of Clear Cutting” – Musicians for Forests, 2015).
Saving the Old Growth Forests America’s Old Growth Forests are an endangered resource that is quickly disappearing. The ancient forests are being unnecessarily wasted, and are growing smaller and smaller with each passing moment. Because the logging industry and the organizations in control of much of the remaining old growth (approx. 5%) are failing to see its value from an ecological/spiritual perspective, the children of tomorrow may never gaze upon the history of today if we do not take a
A Plague of the Forests Although deforestation is helping the development of many countries, cities and states, humans should work as hard as they possibly can to bring a halt to deforestation. This plague among the forests is causing harm not only to humans, with the drastic climate change, but this is also causing animals to become extinct. In some ways, deforestation makes our society come across as self-serving, by using the cleared lands for our own personal advantages, such as: construction
associated with the global problem of deforestation is the Pacific Northwest of the US. The problem can be broken down into several issues that all tie in together. These include the near extinction of the Northern Spotted Owl, the "business" aspect of logging versus the environmental aspect, and the role of the government in this problem. In 1973, the Endangered Species Act (ESA) was passed. This enabled the Dept. of Commerce and Dept. of the Interior to place species, either land or marine, as
