Deforestation and Habitat Loss

paper money is made out of 25% linen and 75% cotton

Approximately 4 billion trees or 35% of the total trees cut around the world are used in paper industries annually.

Have you ever thought that the paper you use is made out of how many trees? The paper you use is made out of 10 trees.Please do not waste paper and use it intelligently.And yes daily almost '2,00,000' of trees are cut down!

tie a string to the branch that you want to cut down. and get a ladder and a chain saw and the person with the chain saw get on the ladder and the other person be holding the string and when the guy gets close to finishing cutting the tree the the guy with the string pulls so the branch comes down to the ground.

The main contributor of deforestation is Latin America with direct conversion to large scale agriculture. The second larges contributor is Asia with Africa being the last.

Deforestation is a permanent destruction of a forest for the reason of using that land for some other purpose. Effects of rainforest deforestation are: Loss of Habitat, Increased Greenhouse Gases, Water in the Atmosphere, Soil Erosion and Flooding.

Of course not! Every action has a reason behind it even if sometimes it's just "because I felt like it". Personally, I've cut down trees in the past because it's fun!

The trees store water in their roots and they also hold the soil in place by their roots. So the soil dries up faster.

Yes most paper are made from trees. They are made by using chopped up wood, water, and bleach. First they use these huge machines to grind them up then they wet it, then bleach ti to make it white then they press the excess water out. They cut up the big rolls of paper( the rolls are over 30 feet long and the diameter is about 15 feet.) to the size of our every day paper with super sharp blades.

reaction about illegal logging?

In little tree bird houses made by people that chopped all of these trees.

It's really bad. A lot of species are becoming extinct because of it.

deforestation is mainly caused only by human beings.it is because the trees are useful for many ways. but there are some forests which are still free from human interference they are tundra,taiga and so on.

for every tree you cut down replant 1 or more to keep the cycle going

Deforestation began because native people needed flat land to farm on (for agriculture), so they cut down/burned the rainforest and planted crops in its place. However, rainforest soil is actually very infertile, and once they'd stayed for 1-5 years, they had to leave and rip down the forest all over again in a different area because the soil in the first area no longer sustained the crops.

While this takes place in developing areas mostly, some logger companies from or working for more developed nations cut down the trees for the wood to make raw wood/planks for furniture and all forms of paper (including the stuff you use at school and toilet paper.)

By the way, deforestation is still occurring today.

people dig the ground then they put the tree

An increase in population can endanger a species, because it's entirely possible that that species will use up too many natural resources because of it's growing population, and then the masses will not have enough resources to survive, thus the species becomes extinct. One of the most famous examples of this is the Easter Island. It's believed that the people of that island cut down trees to make sleds which they dragged their enormous statues to the beaches with. The more people there were, the more trees they used, and then the trees became extinct, which resulted in the people dying because those trees were also their food source.

That's why a healthy (not too big or small) population is crucial to the survival of a species.

No, the world's rain forests should not be cut because if you cut them , then it wont be a rainforests anymore. But I also think that you should cut down the rain forests but not all of it. if you do cut down the rain forests , then it will be a good thing because we need paper and wood but the animals wont have a place to live anymore.

Many, though the exact number is not available. That is a very good reason for students to do their very best at getting their homework done. Sacrificing trees in order for students to learn is justifiable. What is not justifiable is students wasting that paper by not doing their homework or not doing their very best on it.

The "key " word here is renewable. Resources like gold, silver, oil, coal are not renewable, at least on a time scale we could recognize. When you use up a non-renewable resource, it's gone. Timber, which is a common term for trees, are renewable. Another words, if you cut one down, you can plant one in it's place. In "Forestry", we call that rotation. Most Forest lands in the South, are on what we call a 35 yr. rotation. The timber will be selectively harvested up to 35 yrs. of age, then cut and replanted.

Some timber is a renewable resource, like plantation forests, which are planted and then cut down to make paper. It is sometimes called a sustainable resource, so long as we keep planting and growing trees at the same rate as we cut them down.

Rainforest timber is NOT a renewable resource. Some rainforest trees have taken hundreds of years to grow. There is no way we can replace them.

yes, as long as the forest as a whole is harvested within it's productivity. In other words if all the trees in a given forest grow by 100 units per year, and less than 100 units of wood are harvested that year, then that forest has renewed the resources that we have extracted.

No, wood comes form trees, tree grow, so wood is a RENEWABLE resource

Yes it is provided you keep planting trees as you cut them down.

They are a renewable reasorce

Wood is renewable because you can plant more trees to grow more trees for wood.
