the Superior National Forest (BC Hydro). They plan to call this project the NorthMet Mining Project. There is a dire need for nickel and copper in America, and building this mine will help obtain these resources. There are many pros and cons to the mine being built in one of Minnesota’s National Forests. The building of this mine would help obtain the necessary resources that the United States is lacking, but will also destroy the natural state of the Superior National Forest and many habitats of

They can be found in the rain forests and at clay cliffs running along the river banks. However, because of deforestation and the illegal pet trade, the Green Wing Macaw has been put on the endangered species list. It will probably only be through captive breeding that this lovable bird

Corymbia gummifera is the botanical name for the hard wood red bloodwood. This wood is grown along the coast of NSW and Queensland and is commonly used in the production of round timber.

Red bloodwood is a great hardwood to use for fencing and structural timber

Studies show that tropical forests absorb almost two billion tons of carbon each year, equivalent to 1/5th of the world's carbon emissions, by storing it in their bark, leaves and soil. However, an equivalent amount is lost through logging, clearing of land for grazing, and growing biofuel crops such as palm oil, soya bean and sugar. Peat fires in forests add significantly to the greenhouse gas emissions. (Greenhouse, 2014) For decades, millions of hectares of forest have been cleared with various

in the Amazon, which makes it the most biodiverse tropical rainforest in the world. This great expanse of rainforest harbors about half of all species on Earth. As large areas of this tropical forest are cleared by deforestation, entire species are vanishing, many of them unknown. The dense tropical forests also hold a large amount of carbon that is being released into the atmosphere because of deforestation. Although deforestation in the tropics is rapid and widespread, some people are making an

Deforestation + drought claims that the existing drought condition was worsened by the deforestation

There are five species of sloths; the most common are the Choloepus (two-toed sloths) and the Bradypus (three-toed sloths).

Recently a new sloth species was found, the Bradypus pygmaeus (three-toed pygmy sloth) on the Isla Escudo de Veraguas in the Caribbean coast of Panama. Sloths reach adulthood within

Everyone has been told to do this, but I don’t think everyone sees the importance of recycling. Sure, a lot of people recycle, but there are a lot that don’t. Recycling has many benefits, but the major benefit is less destruction of forests. Again, the rising population calls for many products that are made from trees, mainly paper. Everybody in the world uses paper, whether it be in the form of books, pencils, toilet paper, towels, and even shoes. All these paper products, and more
