Reasons For Deforestation In Australia

This map indicates information about the living forests model and identified 11 places with major deforestation fronts. These spots are the main places of the global deforestation are designed to take place over the two decades from 2010 to 2030. In Australia, About 70 % of the forests of Eastern Australia have been cleared or disturbed, these forests include temperate forests and rainforests in New South Wales and Queensland while only 18% is protected. Furthermore, the rates of forest loss between 3 to 6 million/ha during a period from 2010 to 2030. In addition, the most common pressures causing severe forest degradation and deforestation in Australia are livestock, unsustainable logging, agriculture colonization and

Since the beginning of time, every single living organism on this planet has come to depend on one important thing, oxygen. One of the main sources of this life necessity is our trees. Trees are known to filter the air of many harmful pollutants and absorb carbon dioxide, making the air we breathe fresh and clear of toxins. But what happens when this source is eliminated from the environment? Deforestation, the removal of forests/trees, is a major ongoing issue that, not only has been happening for centuries, but is very well still occurring today. Although there are some positive aspects of deforestation, including building more communities, there are also many negatives that outweigh the positives. Scientists have estimated that between the years 1990-2015, the Earth lost approximately 129 million hectares of forest. The results have been catastrophic and include increased amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere, the impending extinction of various different species, and major changes in the weather.

Approximately two-thirds of the Amazon rainforest and one-third of the remaining rainforest in the world is in Brazil. The Amazon is home to ten percent of the total known species worldwide, making Brazil the most biodiverse country in the world. However, deforestation and land conversion in Brazil are prevalent issues and a threat to the biodiversity, endangered species, and indigenous people that live in the Amazon.

Deforestation is a concerning issue that has come about within the past decade that hasn’t been getting much attention. Deforestation is defined as the clearing or removal of a forest or group of trees where the land is not used for forest use afterwards. The land could be used for urbanization, farms, ranches, extra land, or anything that the country needs that piece of land for. Deforestation has become more common and the industry for it has increased rapidly. Although so many people have increased the amount of deforestation, they don’t realize the effects that it can bring upon the world and its environment. Deforestation not only affects the United States, but effects countries all over the world in multiple ways. Each way that

Deforestation is the permanent destruction of forests in order to make the land available for other uses. Half of the world’s tropical forests have been cleared or degraded. Some people ask why forests’ are being cleared. It is typically done to make more land available for other things like housing, cash crops, oil, and cattle ranching. Most of what everyone does with deforestation is said to be illegal. Common methods of deforestation are clear cutting and burning trees. The burning method can be done either quickly or slowly. Quickly for plantation use or more slowly using the slash and burn technique. The many reasons why farmers and other people do that is to get money to feed there family or like it was stated early, to make room for growing crops or livestock. Forests are cut down for many reasons, but most of them are related to people’s need to provide for there families or money. Logging operations, which provide the world’s paper and wood products, also cut a number of trees down each year. Loggers, some of them doing it illegally, also build roads to get to more and more remote forests, which leads to further deforestation. Not all deforestation is a terrible thing and intentional. Deforestation comes in handy when in need to build a new oil place. There are a lot of natural factors that play into deforestation like wildfires and subsequent overgrazing. Most of the deforestation occurs in the tropics, which is a terrible place because they have poor soil for

Deforestation of Amazon have start to increase in 2015 and in 12 months 30% of the area (Torres, 2017 ) have been deforested. Deforesting at this rate, it brings about threats to the environment, the animals and the native tribes lived in there.

Life on Earth could not continue is not for the existance of forests. Even though most people know this, many people do not know that one and a half acres of forest are cut down every second. Deforestation is one of the biggest ecological problems our world faces today. Deforestation is the conversion of forested areas to non-forest area for uses including agricultural, residential, and commercial. Deforestation contributes to other ecological proeblems as well, such as global warming.

This report strongly contends that Deforestation is created predominantly by Logging, Mining, Urbanisation and Agriculture. Each of these causes is initiated by human needs and in turn has detrimental effects on the environment on a global scale.

If you ask a random individual to describe a landscape to you, any landscape that they can imagine from anywhere in the world, the odds are that they will mention an environment with trees. This is almost inevitable as every type of biome harbors some kind of tree, except for one: the arctic. Through new forms of science, researchers were even able to calculate just how many trees were on the earth. According to this recent study “the answer is somewhere around 3.04 trillion. That 's about 400 trees for every person.” (Netburn 1). The fact is that trees are necessary factors in maintaining the balance our planet requires to sustain life for all living things. Without trees, existence is impossible for

Generally, the “Mining” refers to extraction of materials from earth by artificial methods. As considering to the several decades minerals are the central to our modern base life. They are essential to produce materials for construction and manufacturing i.e. steel and cement cannot be made without cooking coal. Metals are used to make the smart phones, computers and televisions we use every day. The use of diamonds in jewellery remains a near-universal symbol of wealth and prestige. However, mining point to the environmental impacts of extracting and using non-renewable resources like coal, the economic distortion that results from one part of the economy booming while the risks to communities that live near large or multiple mining projects as strong reasons why mining should be curtailed or even stopped. At present Australia is one of leading manufacture in coal, uranium and other minerals. The mining boom has bought investments,

Photosynthesis is a key contributor to the survival of humans. Earth is an open system requiring the input energy to drive life processes Photosynthesis uses light energy to produce chemical energy which is glucose. Photosynthesis deals with plant growth as well as being a source of energy and food. The four things needed for plant growth are energy in the form of solar radiation, carbon in the form of carbon dioxide, mineral nutrients and water (Kirk, 1994). In order for plants to be able to conduct photosynthesis, plants need chloroplasts. Chloroplasts, green colored cells, are a plastid that contains chlorophyll and in which photosynthesis takes place. Photosynthesis is indeed very essential for plants, but it depends on environmental factors. For example, photosynthetic tissues can experience variations in temperature which can affect the rate and integrity of components in photosynthesis (Govindjee, 2012). Other essential resources that contribute to photosynthesis varies in habitat and time as well. In the same process, water is used and oxygen is released into the atmosphere. The oxygen released from photosynthesis is what we use to breathe and is needed for our daily lives. The oxygen being released is a part of Respiration. Respiration comprises of four different stages.

Deforestation is mainly caused by both agriculture and logging. This affects the environment in the amazon rain forest as well as the indigenous people, who are victimized in several ways by the people who take their land.

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 of homes, businesses, amusement parks, dams, performances of oil extraction, mining and industrial agriculture. “The Amazon has lost at least seventeen percent of forest cover in the last half century due to human actions” (Giant Panda). The

First and foremost, by raising animals for food and clothing, we are contributing to an unbalance in ecosystems. In “Livestock a major threat to the environment” published in the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) website, Christopher Matthews presents the deleterious impacts that the raising of livestock have on the environment. He states, “As forests are cleared to create new pastures, it is a major driver of deforestation, especially in Latin America where […] 70% of former forests in the Amazon have been turned over to grazing.” It is imperative to understand the adverse effects that deforestation causes in the ecosystems, because according to an article published by National Geographic, titled “Deforestation”, 80% of Earth’s land animals and plants live in forests, and many cannot survive the deforestation that destroys their home. By turning our forests over to grazing, we are accelerating the extinction of plant species and animals that depend on these plants. The fact that we are destroying the home of millions of species implies that these species will no longer have a place to live, a place to hide from predators, or a place to find food. The loss of several species contributes to biodiversity loss, which is when humans alter the environment and threaten the variety of species in a particular ecosystem. It’s important to understand that every organism in an ecosystem has a purpose and a role that benefits the environment, and most importantly

    When people get sick they believe it’s because they didn’t took the precaution they should have taken in order for them not to get sick or anything but in reality it’s the environment that they are living in that is making them sick. At first people say it’s other people that are making them sick, yes is true but what is really causing all this sickness is deforestation. What’s causing deforestation to increase, is it the people in the world or just the world itself? Deforestation is a permanent destruction of indigenous woodlands.  There is a lot happening due to deforestation. The world is falling apart, many disasters are happening because of deforestation. In the past couple of years the world has been deteriorating with earthquakes, hurricanes and tornadoes but what are people doing to make it stop? The world is becoming a chaotic place to live in. The world is being deforested everyday, every hour, every minute, and every second that passes by and the people that live in the world is not doing anything to make the conditions of the world get any better. The world is getting destroyed without people knowing that it is their own selves the ones that are getting destroyed as well. People need to start finding new ways to make deforestation stop. Deforestation is increasing due to human activities, death caused by diseases is increasing, the risk of extinction for animals and plants is
