The United Nations Forum On Forests

Animals in forests are going extinct due to a very disastrous cause. For example, there is a specific tiger race that only has fewer than four hundred left in the world who live in these forests of which are being torn down and burned every single day. With the rates of deforestation rising, these tigers will be gone altogether in a matter of a couple of years. Not only will the animals be in danger, our environment will be, too. The area where the trees have been will dry out due to the water cycle that the trees are involved in helping with being less effective.

Three to six billion trees are cut down each and every year! Deforestation is a huge problem in the rainforests. Because these forests are home to much of the Earth’s species of life. Covering 30 percent of our land forests provide homes, protection, and oxygen for humans and other wildlife in the forests. There are 7.125 billion people that count on the benefits provided by the forest, which is: food, clothing, traditional medicine and shelter. If something isn 't done soon to reduce our carbon footprint, we will not have forests of any type to soak up the carbon dioxide(CO2) in the atmosphere.

Imagine all the beautiful creatures happily living their days in the forest , resting in the sun and just enjoying their time on Earth. Well ... these peacful animals just got a very rude awakening because someone decide to deforest their area. Deforestation is the process of converting forest lands into non-forested areas. It is estimated that between 50-100 species are lost each day as a reasult of forestry . Deforestation should be stopped , there is no reason to destroy our forest . It is a heartless and selfish thing to do , it needs to be put to a stop for good .

At approximately 10:20 a.m., this morning an F4 tornado tore through downtown College Park, Maryland leaving three people dead, many injured, and properties destroyed in its wake.

Our American society believes that forests in the United States are not managed sustainably. Yet, our forests are being managed for sustainability through sound application of science, commitment from individual landowners, and viable markets for products from the forests. Everything we do and everything we need to survive comes from the environment, so sustainability is what we as humans can do to make sure the environment is sustained well enough for future generations.

The world has changed a lot these past years. A lot of deforestation has occurred as humans increased their expectations for survival. This brings up a bigger issue as to over using resources and using things that we don’t need and turn them into waste. The key reason to this is to help humans grow and develop more.

Entire ecosystems are filled with unique species, and the frightening reality is deforestation takes the habitat out from underneath its inhabitants (Bradford 2015). Forests have been cleared at a rate so astonishingly fast, that over half of all known forests have been compromised. If this type of behavior continues, the natural world will have to be given a new name, because nothing left will be "natural". Rainforests clearly have an outward benefits, from cleaning the air we breathe, to different diversity among the species who inhabit this Earth. Organismal density around the equator is exceptionally high, yet humans feel the need to clear much of that land for different use. Urbanization and the need for more agricultural space play a critical role in how much land humans clear. What we as a species forget is how all of these trees and biomes impact the world on a grander scale. Water vapor is needed to complete the water cycle, but without trees constantly humidifying the air, the cycle becomes less fluid. Sturdy trees like the ones in much of the rainforest hold the soil and anchor it from eroding. Because deforestation completely removes all the

Advocates for the preservation of these forests state that deforestation has devastating consequences including social conflict, extinction of plants and animals, and dangerous climate changes, and that local deforestation in these forests are causing damages that aren’t just local, but global. While opponents claim that tropical forests are destined to diminish as it is necessary for the growing human population to clear the natural landscape to make room for farms and pastures, to harvest timber for construction and fuel, to build roads and urban areas and to develop the economies of the often poor countries that surround the equator.

Meeting in the middle of argument and opposition are the group of people who do not care about the controversial issue of climate change and deforestation. One reason that some people are not interested is they believe that it will not affected them in their life time and that climate change is not a worry. One more reason that is closely tied to the argument and opposition is that it is a burned out topic and it does not matter

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 of loss in biodiversity, increase climate change, and habitat loss.Tropical forests hold the highest

Every single day, the Amazon Rainforest is losing a massive amount of area due to deforestation. The Amazon is the world’s largest tropical rainforest and it is the world’s source of oxygen. Deforestation has slowed down years ago, but now, it is starting to increase and does not show that it will slow down. Earth without tree’s, the human race and animals would not be able to survive. Today’s society is not taking deforestation as a serious matter. If deforestation were to be left alone, the planet and animals would not be the only ones suffering from it. Deforestation is a big issue that has to be made known and find a solution to end it. The causes and the effects of deforestation should be made known to the society and the importance

The most destructive and harmful tragedy that our rainforests, specifically the Amazon, suffer from is deforestation. Deforestation is the clearing or destruction of land throughout forests. Unfortunately, human beings are the number one cause of deforestation throughout the world. The reason if this is simply because we use the wood mainly for things like hydroelectric dams that power communities, palm oil for its biofuel resourcefulness, and the mining for diamond and gold. Another reason would be intentional fires that are used to destroy acres of forest in a quick amount of time for things like construction. Using fires to clear out land quickly is used because taking the time to clear out the land for what will be built would be slower using any other process. The wood can be useful but little do they know that deforestation is extremely harmful to the environment.

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.

Founded in 1993, FSC is “a three-chamber system that has representation from economic players as well as environmental NGOs and social groups” (Grant, 2014). It is dedicated to “promote environmentally appropriate, socially beneficial, and economically viable management of the world 's forests, without compromising those of future generations” ("FSC Forest Stewardship Council ® • Vision & Mission," n.d.).
