various approaches to conservation since its 1986 ‘renovation’ policy of doi moi. In this essay, we will be reviewing the effectiveness of current approaches of a community-based approach to conservation in resettlement projects conducted in Vietnam’s national parks. Community-based Conservation Community-based conservation refers to turning more human-beings into conservationist (Robert et al., 2012) such that locals can form networks with each other, community-based organisation, Non-Governmental Organisations

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. The causes of deforestation in the United States and Brazil are relatively similar, but the reasons for the causes are different. The United States and Brazil both cause deforestation by changing the use of the land and demanding resources or products from these forests. However, the motives behind the land-use change between the two countries

old growth forests around 200 years old, preferring Douglas-fir and high canopy areas. They are described as medium sized, brown owls with white spots. The California Spotted Owl has a height of about 1.5 feet and a wing span of around 4 feet. The California Spotted Owl is a nocturnal bird whose diet consists of rodents, reptiles, invertebrates and birds. The lifespan of the California Spotted Owl is around ten years. They mate for life and require a vast amount of territory (National Wildlife Federation

emissions from cars and power plants, blissfully unaware that deforestation is just as destructive. When traveling to Costa Rica, the effects of deforestation are abundantly clear. The technique of slashing and burning turned what was once a lush forest into a sea of mud and logs. Ever since seeing this destruction, deforestation has become an area of great interest in my life. According to a study by the Scientific American, deforestation

Steese National Conservation Area is home to many forms of Alaskan vegetation. According to the United States National Parks Service, Steese covers over 1.2 million acres, and is home to everything from trees to grasses. In Steese, the vegetation consists of plants from three main ecosystems; the boreal forest, alpine tundra and the tussocks.(Varner, 2011) These systems give much variation to the foliage. The main ecosystem in the Steese National Conservation Area, alpine tundra, is home to forms

Creating a Culture of Renewal: Saving Jobs, Saving Resources The topic of forest management in America has been one of the most controversial and long-standing issues between loggers, environmentalist groups, and forestry workers. All parties have several valid arguments regarding their position on forest management politics and how they have impacted the world’s forests and ecosystems. The question is how can these groups come to a compromise that will satisfy all parties involved? Loggers have

rainforest, subalpine, and alpine. Each habitat is diverse, unique, and relates to its neighboring community. The diversity of plant and animal species in the Upper Lynn Canal remain among the highest in Alaska. Subarctic alpine, boreal forest, north coast forest, and marine systems converge at KLGO and the park hosts species assemblages found nowhere else in the world. Vegetation distribution is governed by a number of factors including soil type, depth, drainage, light availability, precipitation

Deforestation is defined in the dictionary as the “removal of a forest or stand of trees where the land is converted to a non forest use.” Common examples of deforestation include turning forestland to farms, ranches, or for urban use such as malls and housing. Forests still cover about thirty percent of the world’s land area, but according to National Geographic, “swaths the size of Panama are lost each and every year.” The world’s rain forests could completely vanish in a hundred years at the current

The United States Forest Service is in favor of logging to a certain extent but there are several groups that oppose logging in the United States. Groups such as NativeForest.org and EarthRoots.org state that logging in the United States and specifically in industrial areas has led to deforestation and near extinction of many animals. Forests cover 31% of the land area on the planet. They produce vital oxygen and provide homes for people and wildlife. Many of the world’s most threatened and endangered
