Deforestation and Habitat Loss

To stop cutting down trees, the people of the world have to find more ways to used recycled paper. Recycled paper is now big business in the United States. International Paper is a company that recycles cardboard to be used in many other products, including paper.

100% of deforestation affects the environment in some ways, whether it is the destruction of native animals' habitats, or the loss of carbon sinks, or the removal of roots and shrubbery that binds the topsoil.

# meaning for deforestation and causes and effect and view == ==

Deforestation happens due to the agriculture, search for fuel, search for pasture for animals, and in an effort to settle the ever increasing human population. Deforestation has an effect of increasing soil erosion, desertification, loss of biodiversity and green house effect.

flooding is one, because without the roots, the water can pass through soil easily, and if, one day nearly half the trees in the world are chopped down, that may lead to problems inside us, because when we breath out co2, the plants absorb it and breath out oxygen. that's all i have for now but when i find out more, I'll add them on.

Deforestation affects tribal people in many ways. They are are unable to carry out their traditional ways of life, and their homeland is often destroyed. It can affect their food and water sources.

Logging is not the main cause of deforestation. The logging industry has re-planted more seedlings that have matured into adult size trees over the decades and creating MORE trees than the U.S. has ever had before.

Another reason for deforestation is caused by arsonist and the environmental activist who have nothing better to do. Not to mention the illegals camping out in the forest and leaving camp fires smoldering and growing into a major forest fire.

Think about it? If the logging industry were ONLY in the logging business to rape the forest year after year, decade after decade. Uhhh, don't ya think their logging business would become nonexistent and they would be OUT OF BUSINESS?

Fact is, we have more trees today than we have ever had.

forests are getting cut down beacause people are getting wood to make furneture for other houses

The punishment is that the person who ever cuts the trees for his personal use should plant the same tree and grow it and should be asked to pay some money to the government accepting that cutting trees is his mistake

Deforestation means cutting down of trees. So if there r no trees there is no word called environment. This is the way deforestation effect the environment

one way of lessening the effect is reforestation or afforestation.

reforestation- planting trees to replace the cut ones.

afforestation- planting trees to make another forest on a certain area.

Reforestation is an extremely important thing for the earth because it helps the global climate and provides a habitat for many species who may have lost their home by previous deforestation. Although deforestation causes a domino affect that harms many different species, there are a few advantages to it. First, cutting down trees and using them for lumber is good for the economy, and also it gives livestock a place to graze. The only disadvantages of reforestation are cost and time.

The surface of the earth is everything for human activities. Just think of how mountain ranges, jungles, forests, rivers, and climate affect who can live where and how they do it.

The wood of a pencil is a renewable source.

Deforestation is difficult to control as trees are being cut down and thus we are cutting homes of animals & birds to fulfil our needs and it leads to many problems. It causes soil erosion, floods and landslides. There is very less oxygen in the air to breathe birds & animals homes are lost when forests are cut and thus trees should be planted more.

The main impact is losing oxygen because that's what the trees provide us with and then the animals that live in trees lose their homes.

Due to deforestation, pollution is increasing and holes in the ozone layer are increasing.

If killing is a crime, then why should the death penalty still be allowed to those who committed a crime? Wouldn't that to make you a murderer because it's just another cycle of endless killing.

This is known as clear-cutting. All the trees are cut within the stand. The stand represents all trees within the boundary of the land owner's claim or a particular tract of ground.

Some are required to by law. Others, loot and scoot.

American lumberjacks are paid about $34,000/yr. By comparison framers can make up to $65,000/yr

BY REFORESTATION.....i.e.by converting deforested lands into forests again
