Yet the government and organizations ignore those facts and just demolish their homes in order to gain a new location for productions. It’s a topic that’s constantly debated in politics and society should take a recognition on what’s happening in deforestation. More than half of the world’s rainforests are destroyed

The Amazons Deforestation Have your eyes ever set on a barren land where even technology can’t reverse the damage we have caused? We care mostly for the present, but we must never forget to see to the future and in this case the deforestation of the Amazons. “Deforestation is considered the second largest anthropogenic source of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere” (Song et al. 2). Each day we are wiping out miles of trees from one of our most diverse ecosystems in the planet, and one of our largest
social causes of deforestation are predominantly created by human needs. In turn these causes hinder sustainability. This report states that although it is important to meet the needs of humans, the needs must be satisfied in a sustainably conscious manner. For this to be achieved, direct effects of each human need must be critically analysed and understood. This paper aims to deliver this by identifying particular human actions that contribute to the global issue of deforestation. Furthermore, the
plants in a forest produce oxygen for humans as well as all other creatures. This land also provides a home for natural wildlife. But what would Earth look like without these forests? If the rate of deforestation continues to increase then we may have to find out the answer to that question. Deforestation is a recurring global problem which is the act of tearing down a forest to use the land for a different purpose. Today’s society is so steadfast on advancement that they aren 't stepping back to look

The second part contains my own “Statement of Environmental Awareness and Responsibility” DEFORESTATION – a challenge to sustainable environment on Earth By Eric Notulu Mubuka INTRODUCTION Deforestation is commonly defined as:
During the previous years, one of the biggest threats the world as a whole faces is the destruction of our environment, mainly through deforestation. Deforestation is the destruction of forests in order to increase land usage for agriculture, grazing and urban development. Generally forest clearers cut or burn the trees to clear land. Deforestation is one of the major causes of environmental problems in Brazil with the rate it is developing. Brazil's development is coming at a time when scientists
Deforestation conflicts and Solutions The population in the majority of countries around the world is increasing, which places pressure on local economies to yield additional food or clear additional land for urban developmental urgencies such as housing and commerce, which leads to a method called deforestation. Cutting down forests not only generates revenue from sales such as that of timber, but also clears land for use in development. On the other hand, forests are vital fragments of local and
Deforestation is a commonly known environmental issue across our world today, yet still has a long posed threat to our earth. Deforestation is a permanent process of humans removing a forest or stand of trees where the land is later converted to a non-forest use. The forest covers over 30% of our planets land, and the ecosystems they create are essential for life. Not not only do forests produce vital oxygen but provides homes and shelter for people and wildlife. Forests provide a habitat for over
Is Deforestation Worth It? One of the most prevalent issues in our world today is the issue of deforestation. Deforestation can be described as “the practice of clearing the natural forests for agriculture, logging, etc.” (Deforestation Statistics). After hearing the definition of deforestation, most people would not find this to be a very significant issue in the world, but after hearing the alarming statistics associated with deforestation, most would change their mind. For example, arguably the
