The Causes Of Illegal Deforestation

Clear cutting forests can be proven to be an unstable way of practising forestry as its long term affects to an environment target the climate, soil conservation, biodiversity and hydrological regimes. Depleting forest resources will be given strict and serious punishment as it affects society as a whole and not

In our world deforestation rate is getting higher day by day. In fact, the rate of

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.

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

The greatest threat to the rainforest comes from human beings. Commercial logging or the cutting down of trees and other vegetation, for human use is the number one danger to the existence of the rainforest. Trees and lumber from rainforests are very valuable and loggers come from all over the world to cut down the trees in order to harvest lumber. Although this type of logging is regulated, there are many illegal or “wildcat” loggers who go into the rainforest at night or in the rain, cut down acres of trees, and leave without ever having been seen by the authorities. These illegal loggers use a process called “clear cutting”, where they cut down everything in sight. Because they do not replant the trees and plants that they destroy, if left unchecked, eventually these loggers would completely destroy the rainforest. Even if the areas they destroy are small, it changes the underlying ecosystem by letting in light and rain where darkness and relative dryness were

Deforestation is a problem that does not concern many people, but it is an issue that the people of Earth need to deal with. In the past 50 years deforestation has increased a significant amount, but people around the world have been removing the forests since the 1600s. The forests remaining are in danger as the human population goes up, the need for resources will also increase and this will make the deforestation of the last forests come quicker before humans realize it is too late. Unless the people address this threat to the world, it will be too late because this is something that can be fixed, the forests can be rebuilt but it has to start right now before there is nothing people can do. There are many causes for deforestation such as, clearing space for urbanization, making areas available for houses, or harvesting the lumber for goods and other consumer items and all of these have an effect on the world. The consequences of deforestation can affect all aspects of life on Earth, including the water cycle, the soil, and the life quality of species around the world.

Deforestation is a permanent destruction of forests, and an estimated of 18 millions acres of forest is destroyed every year. In recent decades, the forest is losing at a rapid rate, and deforestation is a man made problem because human cut down trees for economic development and social development. Governments and environmental agencies have recognized the problems of deforestation, and they set up different policies to regulate business companies and manufacturers for furthering damage the forest. One of the most outstanding policies is to restrict illegal commercial activities in public forest areas, and new policies of reclaiming unregistered forest land and regulating activities on private forest are also effective methods to stop deforestation.

There are many interesting facts and knowledge concerning deforestation which will add to one’s already obtained knowledge. This is going to show the reader everything wrong with deforestation and why it should be stopped for the better of all life. These facts were derived from many websites that have professionals with much knowledge of deforestation, and it will further the proof upon the facts.

The long-term removal of tree cover, deforestation, is a global issue that can be catastrophic if not resolved and is one of the most urgent of issues. Deforestation is a global issue, not only because it happens all around the world, in multiple countries but also because its causes are produced by globally-drive motives. Politically, Socially and Environmentally, deforestation is a global issue that delves deeply in almost all aspects of organism life. This essay will explore into the intricacy of the global issue of deforestation and its surface and root causes. Although deforestation occurs mostly in tropical rainforests, which are primarily in developing countries, this does not equate it to national problems, instead it is an issue, which through the rise of economic globalization, means that the global population are bearing down on the forests as well. The surface issues are agricultural expansion and infrastructure expansion, with deeper root causes, which fall under the political and social scope. These underlying causes “are fundamental forces that underpin the more obvious or proximate causes of deforestation” (Geist, Lambin, 2001, pg.8) This essay will draw from academic sources and will elaborate on author’s theories and opinions on the topic of the causes of deforestation. By doing this, a mixture of neo liberal, liberal and emancipatory social action approaches will be taken to be able to fully understand the surface and underlying causes of deforestation.

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.

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 has been an increasing issue with the modern age. As new technologies and productions are introduced, space for forests and trees are removed dramatically. Although it offers massive economic benefit, it creates a portal to more issues, such as environmental and gas emissions, animal habitats, and local people in several third world countries. Contrary to popular belief, however, deforestation can also provide as a benefit. It allows people internationally to have access to a common resource, lumber, and creates room for employment; in some areas, deforestation could actually positively affect climate change. It is critical to weigh both pros and cons of deforestation as well as its effects on society, environmentally and economically. Deforestation’s negative outweigh the positives; however, the positives are crucial to function our society globally. As a result, it is imperative that deforestation must be used in moderation and only used when necessary.

Humans have always cleared the forest for our own interests, but in the past, the process was slow and only limited regions were deforested, generally for subsistence agriculture. However, today, humanity is far more efficient at clearing the forest with our advanced technology and machinery and our almost maniacal drive to earn profits in the near term. Ranching Cattle ranches are created in the rainforest for many fast food companies.

Deforestation is a major global problem with serious consequences to the planet. These consequences have a negative effect on the climate, biodiversity, the atmosphere and threatens the cultural and physical survival of life. Deforestation is the permanent destruction of indigenous forests and woodlands. It has resulted in the reduction of indigenous forests to four-fifths of their pre-agricultural area, so that now indigenous forests cover only 21% of the earth's land surface. The world Resources Institute regards deforestation as one of the worlds most pressing land use problem.

There are several environmental problems that the environment of today faces. These environmental problems can be similar or different from each other in countless aspects between countries. The biological, physical, and cultural perspectives on these issues, such as the causes, effects, severity, cultural views, and the efforts to fix these problems can vary from country to country. Deforestation as an environmental problem compared and contrasted between the United States and Brazil is an example of how issues can vary or be the consistent in different countries. Deforestation is the term used when a forest is cleared to use the land for a different purpose, or for its resources.
