North Asian Country : A Centralized Country Ruled By Authoritarian Government

In particular, forest fragmentation issues were not involved in the processes of legislation. To date, a well-defined tenure or ownership has not been available for those collective forests in southern China, and an overloaded forest-related taxation still exists for forest farmers. This has heavily undermined the afforestation initiatives available to forest farmers (Zhang, 2008). In contrast, the USA has pushed many favorable policies, including an adoption of taxation incentive packages to encourage citizens to manage forests. A comprehensive system of laws related to forest management has dramatically advanced forest management levels and led to an overall forest inventory regularly. Beside governmental supports, various NGO’s pay much attention to forest fragmentation issues when management plans are being developed. （Li, Mao, Zhou, Vogelmann, Zhu,2010）

By the year 1570, Japan’s population had reached 10 million. This spike in the population and the continuous need for the natural resources led to a very serious environmental issue for Japan. For the first time, the country was faced with widespread deforestation. Deforestation was not entirely new. As long ago as 600 AD there had been localized deforestation, mainly in the Kinai region, as the wood there was required for houses, war or even monuments. This didn’t become a serious problem at first as Japan’s population was quite small and there were plenty of forests to use. In fact, most of the population at that time encouraged deforestation so that they could use the cleared land for farming and to make forest growth products such as fertilizers.

Forest is one of the subunits that deforestation had influenced on. The government cost was significantly influenced by deforestation in the forest. According to the BBC news, a new study estimated that the annual cost of forest loss for the global economy is

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.

Deforestation is defined as: “the clearing of virgin forests, or intentional destruction or removal of trees and other vegetation for agricultural, commercial, housing, or firewood use without replanting and without allowing time for the forest to regenerate itself” (SCRIBD). Deforestation has been a problem in Latin America since the early 1900s and the severity of the dilemma is increasing rapidly. Deforestation not only has consequences for the environment, but also, the indigenous people and the national economy. The logging industry in Latin America is often exploited by multinational companies that are not properly regulated. The land that has provided a home and cultivated indigenous development for centuries is being dissipated rapidly. Due to an exponentially growing global population, there is an increased demand for low priced goods--like timber, crops, and meat. Many Latin American countries value revenue from selling these goods over the health of their local ecosystems. The crisis of deforestation and habitat loss is shifting from a local to global problem. As deforestation continues, global warming escalates worldwide, impacting every country and person. About 15 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions come from tropical deforestation, which is more than from all the world’s cars, trucks and buses combined (Schwartzman). Puerto Rico and Brazil provide contrasting examples of the impact of deforestation. Puerto Rico had an economic and environmental shift

As you can see deforestation is man made, not intentionally man made, but instead intentionally made for industrialization. Predominantly Indonesia has the highest rate of deforestation in the world and also is the world's third-largest producer of greenhouse gases behind China and the US, with 85% of its emissions coming from forest destruction and degradation (theG). The statistics as you can see are more alarming than perceived in the media and it is extremely imperative to help regulate and help with this mast tragedy of the

Deforestation has lead to terrible living conditions and 38 species have been driven to extinction. John Vidal, author of “The Sumatran Rainforest Will Mostly Disappear Within 20 Years,” writes about the ways logging companies are getting past regulations to take more land and logs away from the forest and natives. Ian Sample, author of “Amazon’s Doomed Species Set to Pay Deforestation’s ‘Extinction Debt,’” on the other hand mostly talks about the affects deforestation has on animals. Vidal has the better argument over Sample because his explanations about its effects on humans and corruption from companies and the government.

North Korea is a communist country filled with many beliefs and power over their people. The country has been a big talk lately making big news in media. They seem to be the center of attention. What’s behind all the controversy? North Korea is an oppressive regime because human rights aren’t allowed and free speech isn’t given.

The definition of oligarchy is: a form of government where all power is vested in few people or in a dominant class (wealthy). These people are usually royalty, wealthy, or wealthy. A lot of times oligarchy governments are restricted to a family who then passes their power from generation to generation. Oligarchs do not have to be connected by bloodlines in order to inherit power, like a monarch. For reference, a family could have been in power for several years and suddenly the power could have veered to another family based on their wealth, educational background or military ties. These decisions are influenced simply within the small circle where the power was held for example we will China and North Korea. Unlike oligarchy, democracy is

Throughout our entire history there has been a prefered way of command. In the early stages of civilizations, an autocracy was preferred. Now in the Modern Age, Democracy is favored. With more globalization now than there ever was, the normal citizens of the State have more economic influence. “Democracy is the worst form of government on earth except for all the rest” (Winston Churchill) Like Churchill, I also think that Democracy is the prefered type of government for the world we live in today because it leads to more economic growth.

Deforestation is one of the most significant issues of our time; considerable measures must be taken to prevent further pillaging of our unique forest resource.

It is a true shame, seeing what third world countries have done to their beautiful forests. But who is one to judge, their ignorance is a result of the lack of education and resources provided to them from more developed countries; countries, who have great education and knowledge of what is being done to this planet. Focusing on Guatemala, only 18 percent of their people enroll into higher education(global education fund). Higher education in Guatemala is equivalent to the first three years of high school in The United States. Is anyone really to blame for deforestation in such a big portion of this country? There is not any one specific thing that has created the destruction of forests. Many factors, and many years have gone into this; for an example, agricultural expansion, natural disasters, and logging. I will be explaining how all these factors lead to one main problem, deforestation; and how we can work on fixing this problem.

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

For thousands of years, there was no concern about deforestation and its consequences. However, now that the world’s population has increased, deforestation has become a concern of societies today. The changes in perception of deforestation is different for every individual. A major change, though, is the contrast of how people viewed deforestation during the Industrial Revolution, the eighteenth and nineteenth century, and today’s perception.

The restriction to the local people for the use of forest products and timber logging can increase the demand for these products and market value. The control of the deforestation and degradation in REDD+ site increases the agricultural land crisis and demand for the land. Studies indicate that cross-border leakage is a major problem in many areas. In Vietnam between 1987 and 2006, about 39% of the forest cover was recovered, which was balanced by the forest loss in the neighboring countries including Lao PDR, Cambodia, and Indonesia (Barlow, et. al., 2012). The conservation or restoration project in the REDD+ areas without considering the immediate or underlying causes of forest loss can be more prone to leakage (Miles and Dickson, 2010) causing deforestation elsewhere to meet the demand for agricultural products and forest needs (Barlow, et. al., 2012).
