Introduction:
Some of the trees on earth have existed for longer than three thousand years. They have lived across history from even before the days of Jesus Christ. God has provided these trees with his care and has protected them from natural disasters. He saved them from everything ranging from droughts to floods. Yet, the Almighty wasn’t able to provide them with immunity from the foolishness and shortsightedness of man. The development of humanity and technology is causing the destruction of the nature in order to have big investments. This process of destruction is called “ deforestation” which is going to by my choice of topic for this paper. Deforestation is the elimination of a forest or stand of trees where the land is thereafter converted to a non forest use. Examples of deforestation include conversion of forestland to farms, ranches, or urban use. The reason I chose this topic is because we are clearly noticing that our nature is in big danger through the destruction of forest and trees which increased my curiosity to know the reason behind this and maybe find a solution for it.

To begin with, we can clearly see that there is different point of views found in the 5 articles that I have brought for this topic. In one of the articles, we saw that there is a conflict of opinions about deforestation. Some groups agree with it and others don’t. For those people who support deforestation, they believe that it has some advantages like cutting out the taller
Throughout the Civil War, there were many creative advancements, but one that goes unnoticed a lot was the growth of fashion. During the war, fashion, though still quite extravagant, was somewhat more muted. Because there was a war going on, many people had to make sacrifices and save formal wear for going out to somewhere fancy. But even during war, there was still a clear difference between those who had money to wear nice clothes and those who did not, and those who lived in the city versus those who lived in the country. There were many new pieces of fashion developing at the time, especially with women’s clothing.
Incidents In the Life of a Slave Girl By: Madelyn Klumb “Slavery is terrible for men; but it is far more terrible for women.” (Jacobs, p. 66) Slavery was never easy for both men or women. They both had to go through immense pain and heart aches. There was not a single slave who escaped the hardships that came from being a slave.
In the Mid-20th century, the country cut down most of the indigenous trees in the country. However, on realizing the adverse effects that are caused by lack of forest
Most of the time, People don’t want to be the cause of evil. The reason why people blame others so they don’t get the backlash on the event. Though sometimes, People won’t always escape from their fears. In Macbeth, a play by William Shakespeare, many factors contributed the titular character’s downfall toward his demise. The factor that contributed most in Macbeth’s downfall was Macbeth himself due to him being too ambitious for his own good and His willingness to listen to the Witches’ prophecies.
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
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
“People who will not sustain trees, will soon live in a world that cannot sustain people”(Bryce Nelson). Deforestation is the permanent destruction of forests in order to make the land available for other uses. Deforestation has overtime become a leading environmental problem in the U.S. It is estimated that at the beginning of the european settlement, in 1630, the area of forest was 423 million hectares. By 1907, the area had declined to 307 million, according to,”U.S forest facts and historical trends”. Deforestation is caused and will affect the human who call the U.S home. Issues with the environment such as global warming, the thinning of the ozone, and deforestation all contribute to critical problems in the U.S. deforestation highly
The affect of environmental issues occur everyday and in particular deforestation is becoming a highly ranked subject. From animals to the human race, the alacrity of trees that are cut down affects every individual in a variety of ways. Not only do people need to help the planet but they need to help themselves and further generations to come, such as children and grandchildren because these natural resources that are being taken away from society are as well shaping the future. For comprehensible reasons, forests use to make up the world, until man made creatures started to destroy and destruct the most important supply to human kind which are trees. Trees are crucial to every living entity for the reason of providing oxygen to all.
From all the findings above, it is clear seen that deforestation is an internatinal issue to be discussed. The effects of it are destroying our planet gradually and progressively. If we do not stop deforestation soon, ecosystem in the world will be vanished in the future (J. Saucedo 2011). Deforestation is easy to stop, only small changes in our daily life can change a big problem (Debouche 2016). Therefore, joining hand to protect our planet as well as protect our own life. It is not only our responsibility, it also own obligation. Hopefully, in the future, we can recovered trees everywhere in our
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.
There once was a time when rainforests had grown over fourteen percent of the Earth’s surface, now the rainforests manage to cover only six percent. This is due to deforestation. Deforestation of rainforests occur because of logging, powerplants cutting down and burning trees for electricity and as well as the paper industry causing its own damage. There are multiple factors for why rainforests are being destroyed, but the main root of the cause can be linked back to human’s havoc and upbringing of wasting resources. The future is technology, but mankind still will lay waste to their environments such as rainforests and the oceans. Rainforests and its inhabitants are currently in danger due to deforestation and human’s life choices will only lead them further into subjection which
Ninety percent of the earth’s trees between three and four hundred years old have been cut down. The remaining ten percent is all we will ever have (Gallant, 97). The definition of deforestation by the Random House Dictionary of the English Language is "to divest or clear of forests or trees.” 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.
One and a half acres of the rain forest-“the Lung of the Earth”, are lost every second. In fact, they now cover only a mere 6% of the earth's land surface compared with 14% when humankind first settled. Experts estimate that the last remaining rain forests could be consumed in less than 40 years. Obviously, deforestation has been becoming an alarming phenomenon for the whole world. Writing about this issue, Laura Lopen, John Maier and Dick Thompson express some quite strong opinions.
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.
However despite the importance forests are in danger. This is called Deforestation is a loss of forest area, such as rainforests, due to natural and human means. The former forest area is then used for growing crops, grazing for animals or human expansion for more buildings. While deforestation is a danger to animals and plants due to lowering the biodiversity it is also dangerous for the planet. As by removing the trees, the trees can no longer
