How is sustainable timber produced?
Sustainable logging means logging an area in such a way as there is always trees to be cut. In other words, logging in a way that leaves young trees, medium age trees and mature trees behind each time you log, so that you can always log that area in the future. The opposit is called "clear cutting" which means you can't go back in that area to log for over thirty years. Re-planting the area can be part of your sustainable logging plan. I have sustainable logging operations on my hundred acres in Maine and except for the skidder trails throughout the woods, you would not notice the loss of trees each year.
What are trees chopped down for?
The amount of trees that are cut down each year, according to a 2012 report was reduced by 60,000 square kilometers per year. It is stated that the amount is between 3 billion to 6 billion trees per year.
Does deforestation affect butterflies?
deforestation affects insects because deforestation is the cutting down on trees and without trees the insects will die without a home. ( the trees)
What is Excessive cutting of trees called?
Forestry, Deforestation, Sustainable forestry, Vandalism, Criminal Waste.
What measures need to be taken to address the issue of overpopulation in Nigeria?
Education on the use of Birth control methods to prevent over population is a start...Education on why it is not morally justified to bring a child into the world and let said child die of starvation by the age 5 just so that the two parents can enjoy a brief moment of carnal pleasure is another start,however such measures would take years or even decades to produce positive results..
.
Nature is of course now taking its own measures to deal with the over population issues such as famine and disease that cause mass die offs of the population....
The population of a country can not exceed the amount of resources that said country is able to provide for its people either by natural means or from importation of resources...
Nigeria's Population growth must be reduced or brought to complete stand still until the country is able to produce enough resources to support the current population..
A government program for the mandatory chemical or surgical sterilization of 40% of its citizens would reduce population growth at a faster pace...
How do the plants in your animals habitat affect your animal?
Habitat loss means the distruction of the animals natural home.
For example the distruction of the rain forest or the reclaiming of flood plains to build houses.
The effect on animals is they have no where to live so many die.
What are some causes of deforestation?

How much paper dose one tree make?
According to non-profit group Conservatree, it takes an average of 24 trees to make a ton (2,000 pounds) of typical office paper. It takes about 12 trees to make a ton (2,000 pounds) of thinner magazine or phone book paper.
They also estimate that 1 tree makes 16.67 reams of copy paper or 8,333.3 sheets.
It is important to note that rarely are trees harvested solely to make paper. They are harvested for lumber production and the scraps are pulped to make paper.

How many trees does it take to make the New York Times paper?
???
If the below answer was intended to suggest that to make a newspaper, at least one tree must be felled, then that's true. But it's the answer is completely wrong.
One tree can generate enough pulp to create 2,500 - 4,000 average-sized newspapers.
It takes 1 tree
How does it help your invironment to cut down trees?
Most lay people have bought into the idea that cutting down trees in the US should be stopped. They feel that trees are being vastly over-cut and we will not have any air left to breathe, all the animals will die, and huge erosion issues will follow. The truth is that in the US forestry is highly regulated. We work on a sustainable yield, which means we will never run out of trees. We will cut a parcel, and then plant two to three times the trees that were harvested. It's in the best interest of the owners, private or commercial to do so. There are now more trees in North America than there were 100 years ago. It's because of logging that this is true. Read that again. It's because of the logging industry this is true. Most of the forests being logged today have been managed since the early 1900's. The animals move all the time to avoid predation. The circle of life works fine in the modern forest. I am in those forests everyday. Animals adapt very well.
This question needs a general answer that addresses the question.
Wildlife can be associated with animals in the jungle, or wilderness; untamed animals; or it can be used as an expression when a person is out of control. Or it can be used in the sense that you're out in the open, or that you're out on your own. Such as; I'm living the wildlife of the jungles of Africa; or, Wow, I'm finally on my own, living the wildlife! Well, Wildlife does mean the life in wilderness, but not untamed animals, rather the animals (or any organism) that is not domesticated for human use or fun. For example if a circus worker tamed a lion, it will still remain a wild animal. But those organisms that are tamed and harnessed for years are not wild anymore. That's why some of them are not found in wild at all (perhaps it is speciation by Isolation). That's what biologist mean by wildlife. Hope you get your answer. Have a great time and fun with wildlife.
Paper is made out of trees because there are alot of them and because thay are also a renewable and recyclable resouce
What effect is enhanced on earth with increased amounts of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
An increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere results in an increased amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. A decrease usually results in a decreased concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere
What are the possible solution for deforestation?
Reforesation is being done to plant new trees and make up for deforestation.
How trees are important for human civilization?
well wood comes from trees and wood is an major product of the human civilization
What could we do to help deforestation?
Forests, trees and plants are like carbon "sinks" that absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and turn it into oxygen. We need large expanses of forest to remove carbon dioxide which is a greenhouse gas contributing to global warming.
Deforestation means cutting down trees which directly affects the environment so that there will be less pure air or oxygen to breath as trees serve to clean air by taking in CO2 and releasing O2.
The natural habitat for wild animals and birds will be destroyed which will lead to their extinction and the consequently disturbance to the food chain.
Deforestation will also increase floods, drought and climate change and will also cause soil erosion because trees help in binding soil with their roots.
The effect of deforestation on environment can cause floods, fertility of the soil can be gone , there will be soil erosion, water cycle can be disturbed which results in drought and there will be disturbance in nature and there cannot be any shelter for any organisms.
Deforestation has much economic importance but the bad effect is that
- It causes erosion.
- It leads to loss or extinction of wild life.
- It exposes the bush to burning.
- It destroys the soil structure.
- It contributes to global warming by removing the carbon sinks (trees) that absorb CO2 from the atmosphere.
Deforestation can lead to soil erosion, desertification, and in extreme cases the extinction of plants and animals.
Every tree is home to at least 100 animals. Compare to that to YOUR neighborhood, as far as how devastating it would be to lose 100 homes in the name of progress. Then waste SEVENTY PERCENT of what you just wiped out because it's just not profitable to use EVERY resource. The waste has to go somewhere. The 'neighborhood' will take 100 years to get back to where it was the day before you destroyed it. There will be a great wailing and gnashing of teeth.
deforestation is greatly harming the environment. due yo the scarcity if trees, rain is not occurring as a result, crops are failing . it is also causing global warming which is the root problem of all the problems of the earth.
Can farming cause deforestation?
farming cause deforesstation because it destorys the habiat and kills many liveing and non living insects or plants causeing the deforestation to be un heathy to woods and rainforest mostly

How many trees does it take to make 1 roll of toilet paper?
A third of new paper comes from recycled paper. Another third is from waste such as sawdust and scrap from lumber mills, according to the EP so the new trees only have to produce a third of the paper. A single tree can basically produce 10,000 - 20,000 sheets of standard A4 paper so I'd imagine (assuming the tissue paper is pretty thin) a single tree could probably make around 400 sets of (100 sheets in each box) tissue paper. But this isn't completely accurate, it is just an estimate of the tissue paper I personally use which could be completely different to yours. Also, not all tissue brands would use recycled paper. That could affect the results drastically. In the end, I'd like to leave a message reminding you that recycling is very important, as you can see it really makes a difference if the new trees only have to produce one third of the paper.
