What are the main reasons

Introduction

Deforestation is the full or large scale removal of a forest , area of trees in order to clear land for human development

Deforestation refers to the decrease in forest areas across the world that are lost for other uses such as agricultural croplands , urbanization , or mining activities

Deforestation is a direct or indirect human induced conversion of forested land to non forested land

WHAT ARE THE MAIN REASONS

1 FOREST FIRE- THE MOST COMMON HAZARD IN FORESTS IS FOREST FIRE

CAUSES OF FOREST FIRE

NATURAL CAUSES-FOR EXAMPLE LIGHTNING WHICH SET TREES ON FIRE .HIGH ATMOSPHERIC TEMPERATURES AND DRYNESS.

MAN MADE CAUSES:FIRE CAUSED WHEN A SOURCE OF FIRE LIKE NAKED FIRE CIGARETTE ELECTRIC SPARK OR ANY SOURCE OF IGNITION COMES INTO CONTACT WITH INFLAMMABLE MATERIAL

2 CLEARING LAND TO BUILD HOUSING

3LOGGING OF TREES

4 URBANIZATION
5 FUEL WOOD

HOW IT IMPACTS TO NATURE ?

-DEFORESTATION GREATLY INFLUENCES TO MANY LIVES
DEFORESTATION CAN LEAD TO A DIRECT LOSS OF WILDLIFE HABITAT AS WELL AS GENEREAL DEGRADATION OF THEIR HABITAT

ANIMALS MAY NOT BE ABLE TO FIND ADEQUATE SHELTER WATER AND FOOD TO SURVIVE WITHIN REMAINING HABITAT

–IN BRAZIL THE POOR PEOPLE ARE CONSTANTLY PRESSURED TO MOVE FROM THEIR VILLAGES OFTEN TO REMOTE PLANTATIONS WHERE THEYHAVE TO WORK UNDER INHUMAN CONDITIONS

-IN SOUTHEAST ASIA DEFORESTATION CONTRIBUTED TO MIGRATION AND SOCIAL CONLFLICTS

–INCLUDING CLIMATE CHANGE

WHEN TREES ARE CUT DOWN AND BURNED OR ALLOWED TO ROT THEIR STORED CARBON IS RELEASED INTO THE AIR AS CARBON DIOXIDE. AND THIS IS HOW DEFORESTATION AND FOREST DEGRADATION CONTRIBUTE TO GLOBAL WARMING

SOLUTIONS

-REFORESTATION

Is the natural or intentional restocking of existing forests and woodlands that have been depleted usually through deforestation

THE CUTTING DOWN OF TREES MUST bE COUNTERED BY REPLACING OLD THAT WERE CUT , WITH YOUNG ONES . TREES ARE BEING PLANTED EVERY YEAR , BUT THEY STILL DON’T MATCH THE NUMBER OF TREES THAT WE HAVE LOST

SUPPORTING ORGANIZATIONS
– GOVERNMENT HAVE THE RESOURCES TO ALLOW ANTI DEFORESTATION ORGANIZATIONS TO GET THEIR MESSAGE ACROSS AND INCREASE THERE SPHERE OF INFLUENCE

TO CONCLUDE

ENDING DEFORESTATION IS OUR BEST CHANCE TO CONSERVE WILDLIFE to solve the climate emergency AND DEFEND THE RIGHTS OF FOREST COMMUNITIES
