Deforestation and Habitat Loss

We should plant more trees. Killing wild animals and poaching should be banned.Stringent rules, heavy penalities should be imposed on offenders.Control and reduce pollution.

Deforestation is happening because we humans are buying all the wooden furniture which is making companies want to produce more. It is happening because there are not many trees left so they have to cut down the forests.

I don't think there's another way. I know there is fake wood, but for some cases you can't use fake wood.

Lightning is the major cause of forest fires. careless smoking, campfires that are not put out properly, left untended, or lit in droughts, deliberately lit fires used to prevent forest fires sometimes escape containment, and people (arsonists) also set fires on purpose. War andhuman error also cause forest fires.

***Not according to Smokey the Bear. See the related link below, read the discussion, get the facts.

Partly to harvest wood, but the main reason is clearing the land to make way for agricultural activities such as cattle or sheep ranching.

They also want to use the water from the river to create electricity and for some companies to dig for example, gold and copper. It will give farmers money to feed their family and make a living.

for farming and land for houses

people cut down amazon rainforest for their needs and greeds like for making papers, drugs, for medical plants, fire wood, setting up industries, land for agrculture and many more things our greed never end up so to full fill it we cut the trees.

The Amazon Rainforest is being cut down because people are cutting down trees to build crops, mines, houses, roads and many other reasons. People are also cutting down trees to make paper.

you can get rubber from trees because you collect the sap and make rubber!

Nothing, there are over plenty of trees out there.

Every single one of them that caught on fire.

There are many different species of deer, elk, birds, lizards, chipmunks, and fish in nearby streams or rivers. :)

Land that is cleared in a rain forest for farming may become eroded more easily. Clearing the land exposes it to sunlight which makes the soil lose moisture rather than retain it.

yeah but you can get paper from other things too

When a tree is cut down, if you cut the tree horizontally, than you will be able to see the growth rings. Every growth ring relates to one year of life for the tree. From the growth rings, you can also determine what kind of weather and conditions the tree had undergone. When the growth rings are very thin, than there were times of little to no rain (drought). When the rings are thick, then there was a good rain-season and the tree was able to grow a lot.

Not only that, but when the rings are not round, but rather crooked, than that means that the tree suffered some kind of damage. It could be poisoning, it could've been hit with something, or maybe the tree was poisoned.

There's a lot you can tell about a trees life from looking at the growth rings!

Positive:

Controlled forest fires have allowed trees to spread their seeds.

Selective tree cutting.

Negative:

Logging-too many trees being cut down

Pollution-pollution leads to acid rain which hurts trees

Also people are taking mosses out of the forest, which could lead to flooding because the mosses aren't there to absorb the water.

the conseqences are that there is less oxygen in the world when you cut down trees,there is going to be less and animals because they are going to be scared when they see the men with chain saws and the men might be cutting down the amerindains homes down.

The animals lose their habitat. If you cut down a tree in the rainforest, for example, a toucan , may lose its home.

Deforestration affects our lives as the whole world is totally dependent on the trees as trees provide us with lot of things and most importantly with 02 and it purifies air by removing many of its impurities. Bye

humans cut around 6 full sized soccer pitches in one second and that is why the amazon rainforest had shrinked 20% form its real size

There are various impacts of forest degradation ranging from biodiversity loss, increase in green house gases emission which leads to the green house effect, even soil nutrient loss and a wide range of it.

A forest fire is difficult to put out - just look at forest fires that have occurred in California for several days and even weeks. Water, retarding agents and backfires are the preferred methods. DON'T USE LIQUOR! I'VE TRIED IT

Because they have never before been cut

TNT, beavers and army with chainsaws

we get paper, wood, oil, medicines, fibres, floss, cane, bamboo, cotton, fungi, herbs, etc.

boycott or kill them

If they are doing so legally on their own land, or at the behest of the land owner you can do nothing and kindly please keep your lips closed. If they are doing so illegally on protected land, contact your Natural Resources people.

For one, because you don't know how to use proper grammar. But another reason why illegal logging happens is because it is a very profitable business and cutting down trees illegally and selling them will earn you lots of money. DO NOT ATTEMPT AT HOME
