requirement for food, fuel, shelter, and foreign exchange. Year on year, a space of tropical forest the size of Great Britain is "converted" from an area equal to the size of Europe. Ever since 1950, according to the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), half of the world 's forests have disappeared. “Latin America has lost 37 percent of its tropical forests,” says the FAO. As more and more of Latin American forest are degraded, more and more detrimental effects are being seen. Deforestation is changing

areas of untouched wilderness in the contiguous United States. This is due in large part to its geographical position between the temperate rainforests of the Pacific Northwest and the dry and mountainous Northern Rockies. According to the Yaak Valley Forest Council, the valley is home to a variety of rare species including but not limited to: inland redband rainbow trout, bull trout, wolverine, lynx, fisher, coeur d 'alene salamander, great gray owl, westslope cutthroat trout, flammulated owl, short-head

a part of Bavarian Climate Program (2008-2011), the Bavarian Forest Administration developed extensive maps of the forest areas and developed climate models of different species. The plan envisaged conversion of 2, 69,000 ha of private and community stands of conifer forests into mixed stands. The target is to convert 1, 00,000 ha by 2020 and another 1, 65,000 ha of state forests by 2033 by a public enterprise of Bavarian State Forest known as Bayerische Staatsforsten. It includes replacement of

Pollution and Environmental Degradation are things that the large majority of humans contributes to some small or large way on the daily. Whether it is our mode of transportation, throwing a piece of trash on the ground, buying products made from trees, and to be perfectly honest the concentration in which we live, by which I mean the proximity of the average residents in which we reside. These all seem like regular everyday things that are just normal. But in the past things like these were so beyond

We may not realize it but many of our everyday necessities’ come from all sorts of things that live in nature. Whether it’s paper or beauty products, we rely on nature for certain things we need and use. What we also may not realize is the demands for certain necessities are the reason why all life within nature decreases. This is primarily focused on tropical rainforests. Over the years we have slowly decreased life within them. We have even cut down parts or entire rainforests to make space for

unstable balance where civilization needs to rely on something else for that missing part of oxygen. To what extent should humans prevent deforestation in major forests worldwide? Forests cover about 30% of our entire planet and scientists are predicting that within the next 50-100 years, deforestation will cause all non-protected forests to be cut down (National Geographic). As stated by the NASA Earth Observatory author and editor Rachel Lindsey, “In the Amazon alone, scientists estimate that the

Mahatma Gandhi once stated, “What we are doing to the forests of the world is but a mirror reflection of what we are doing to ourselves and to one another”. Excessive deforestation is believed to be one of the leading causes of climate change and habitat loss in the world. Daniel Quinn, an American writer claims that “...man was innocent until he discovered the difference between good and evil. When he was no longer oblivious of that knowledge, he became a fallen creature… We are destroying the world

Is the construction project ruining the green areas or pathways? Does it require any roads to be narrowed disturbing the smooth flow of the traffic? Does the project jeopardize any park, playground or any such place of socializing and entertainment? These are some of the questions which must be there in minds of the managers who are given the responsibility of constructing the project. how much the contractors compromise on their initial design and plan for the project, and how much they are going

use, which ensure keeping the forest stand, the agricultural frontier expands until the distance where Ra equals zero. Transportation costs may be too high at this point. Thus, to reach markets is too costly and deforestation stops. The relation Rf-deforestation is exactly the opposite of the relation Ra-deforestation: the higher the Rf, the lower the deforestation. Rents coming from forest activities vary with respect to the aggregation level. At the local level, forest rents include the same variables

before the newcomers in majesty and mystery, while the inhabitants they met told of wonders yet unseen – of towering peaks and mighty rivers, of shifting sands and ancient cities, in a continent of unimaginable size, more than half of it covered by forest of fabulous density” (p.2). As of today, this land is identified as America, where
