What are miners mining for in the Daintree Rainforest?
There is no mining in the rainforest. It is a registered World Heritage listed sight as of 1988. Once leases were given to mine Tin, however, if that happened many plant and animal species would be lost forever. This is the oldest rainforest on our planet and the only one to survive the Ice Age. The Daintree is older than the Amazon Rainforest, and we have learned the value of the Amazon, haven't we?
Why do you think the Australian government should make laws to protect our rainforests?
Think about Tourism, Residential Development, Logging and Mining (this doesn't affect us much because the Daintree is well protected. Consider the fact that the Daintree runs into the Great Barrier Reef. Animals and plants also depend on each other. Recently, a species of tree in the red cedar family disappeared when an owner cleared a plot of land, which highlights the vulnerability of the rainforest. 400 00 people visit the Daintree Rainforest each year and although people know about their imapact on the environment, not many consider how to reduce their footprint.
How does mining in the rainforest help the rainforest?
There is no mining in the rainforest and anything that disturbs the rainforest has no benefit.
What do we use the Amazon rainforest for?
TO LIVE! the rainforests are a main supply of oxygen for us! We use the Amazon for logging hydro electric power cattle ranching mining.
Why do the brazillian government continue to let the amazon rainforest get cut down?
The Brazilian government encouraged mining, logging, and farming to increase jobs and products to export.
What are the impacts on the daintree rainforest?
Human Impacts on the DaintreeRainforestThe Daintree Rainforest is one of the most diverse place on earth, and still there are many bad impacts to the rainforest. One of these human impacts is that many people want to destroy the rainforest for farms since the oil is very nutritious. But even if it was destroyed, the soil would only be good for a year or two because the nutrients in the soil are there from the rainforest plants. This is why it is so hard to rebuild a rainforest because many of the plants normally in a rainforest will no longer be able to root in the place where the rainforest formerly was. If there are no plants, there will be no animals either, and the plants are dependant upon the animals to distribute their seeds. So basically, once ruined, there is not really anyway to rebuild a rainforest.Other Human threats include: Mining, which destroys the rainforest to get minerals from under it; Logging, obviously cutting down trees will greatly damage a rainforest; Tourism, there are hundreds of thousands of people who visit the rainforest each year, which means cars and busses in the rainforest disturbing animals and destroying habitats; and also Development, which covers everything from subdivision of land to building roads and fences which disturb and uproot rainforest habitats
What are the threats to the Daintree rainforest?
Tourism has a massive impact on the Daintree Rainforest. More than 400,000 people visit the region each year, which means thousands of buses, 4WD's, and passenger cars will drive through the rainforest. Tourism is arguably the most destructive environmental force to the Daintree's vulnerability. The demand for tourism will also increase the amount of cars and land development in the area. A major reason for the large number of tourists who visit the Daintree each year is due to its close proximity to another major Australian tourist destination, the Great Barrier Reef. Tourists may stay in nearby Cairns or Port Douglas and visit both the rainforest and the reef in the one holiday. Many tourists will litter the area without thinking twice, such as outside a hotel. While there may be no fines for this, rubbish can easily get blown into rivers and streams which many animals depend on for water.Development by private enterprise impacts negatively on the vulnerability of the Daintree. Due to an increasing emigration to Queensland from other states due to a lower cost of living along with tourism, the demand for more public and housing infrastructure has increased in North Queensland. This has caused the creation of many fences, subdivision of land in the area, building of roads as well as sewage and drainage infrastructure taking place for homes and hotels. These impacts create dangerous conditions for fauna in the Daintree and may cause animals to cross roads or fences in order to search for food. It will also increase pollution due to the development and creation of new infrastructure. Development will also make the rainforest more accessible to tourists which will increase the number of tourists even more.Miningis another threat, although has not yet become active. Tin mining leases are held over parts of the area, and if these go ahead many plants and animal species will be lost. Even though parts of the Daintree are protected, mining may become another threat as people seek sources of income. By making laws to protect all of the Daintree, this will not become a threat in the future.Loggingis an industry that put the Daintree Rainforest on the map decades ago, and remains a force in the area. From the mid-late 20th century, logging has been a major factor contributing to the vulnerability of the Daintree. Undisturbed rainforests absorb one fifth of all CO2 emissions and the Daintree Rainforest must be one of these to protect the future. Cutting and burning trees releases more greenhouse gases than all the vehicles in the world. The Australian government must put a stop to this as the world's precious rainforests are being cleared rapidly- a shocking 11 000 000 hectares a day.Even the most minor logging impacts will affect the vulnerable Daintree Rainforest as species extinctions are likely to occur for more than a century after logging. Laws must be passed immediately to protect Australian rain forests' vulnerability.Of the 19 primitive plants in the world, the Daintree is home to 12 of them. Land use change, mainly logging and clearing land is responsible for 20% of CO2 emissions and contributes to the growing impact of global warming.Global warming affects the world and threatens our environment and animal species of the world. Recent bushfires are believed to have a link with global warming and we could face more environmental disasters.
What kind of of mining is done in rainforest's?
huge deposits of iron and and copper have been discovered in the rainforest's. mining companies have felled trees and built roads through the rainforest's to reach these deposits
why do you think many mining, logging, and companies opposed conserved?
