What can happen as a result of deforestation?
if there were increased deforestation, global warming would increase due to higher CO2 levels.
Is habitat destruction involved at any stage of a vehicles life?
yes, u cut down trees too make cars cut them down too make roads
What is the effects of deforestation in wild animals?
Deforestation removes the shelter and homes for wild animals. It also does away with their food sources. The wild animals are then forced to go elsewhere to find food. Some of them might even come into a town and raid trash cans or eat from gardens to find food.
What are the biggest reasons deforestation occurs?
logging
mining
infrastructure
plantation - crops
wood or timber
urbanisation
cultivation
/also cattle land
What is the purpose of environmental law?
Dear Asker, Environment protection is important because we need the environment to survive. Without it, we would never even be alive.
PS:-If you feel my answer was stupid, sorry:)
If you want to know why it is very important, try doing some environmental protection tasks and objectives (eg:-Collect newspapers and papers which are needed to be thrown away and recycle them or plant seeds and plants. Try to see if it works
Hoping this helped

How Many Different Trees In The World?
The number of trees in the world is incalculable. However, there are some answers related to this question. There are over 100,00 species of trees in the world according to the World Resources Institute. Trees cover 29.6% of the land on Earth.
How many trees are being cut down for book?
it obviousley depends on the quantity proportion of textbook.
What are the harmful effects of paper?
If you do not recycle paper then that paper will make its way to the landfill where it will take up space. Paper recycling also helps to reduce the number of trees that paper companies need to grow for paper production. Paper recycling also requires less energy than producing new paper from raw materials.
On the other hand paper recycling does require the use of harsh chemicals (bleach) which can be an environmental problem if not handled properly, and the gas given off by decomposing paper in a landfill can be harnessed and converted into energy.
How companies and people are destroying the rainforest?
Deforestation is the main issue, but animals and termites are making a very small amount of damage.
=p. people r cutting down trees in rain forests. :D
What is the development viewpoint toward the environment?
The Development Viewpoint towards the environment is the belief that humans should be able to freely use and benefit from all of earth's resources. It considers the environment in terms of economics. -Desdemondia
Why is deforestation bad for the environment?
Deforestation is bad for the environment because trees are necessary to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is one of the greenhouse gases that is causing global warming.
Animals have habitats in trees and forests and once they're cut down, the birds and animals are at risk.
Does increasing deforestation cause more flooding?
When trees are present they take up some of the water into their trunks and leaves and transpire it back into the atmosphere as water vapor, thus reducing runoff. When the trees are removed water that would other wise be transpired becomes runoff which flows into streams. The more runoff enters a stream, the greater the chances of a flood occurring.
What are the effects of deforestation on humans?

Deforestationresults in ecological imbalance, by which carbon dioxide content is increased causing thegreen house effectwhich is devastating to the living organisms, and if it continues it results in depletion of oxygen which is the life force on this planet.
By deforestation we are destroying
How many trees are in a rain forest?
There are many types of rainforests, each with its own tree species and forest characteristics. The rainforests of the Pacific Northwest will have a different density of trees than an Indonesian tropical rainforest, just as both of those have a different density of trees from the Amazon. If you can figure out the average number of trees per acre of a particular forest type, and you know how many acres the forest is in total size, you can estimate the total number of trees in that forest. It will be different for each region and forest type.
Where did logging first start?
I did a little searching but could not find the year. Log scanning started in the 1970's, but I don't know when the original logging started. It obviously started quite early with the pilgrims, but it also could have been in other countries before that. You could try asking the yawiki at http://www.yawiki.org/proc/Yawiki. He might know. Happy searching!

How long has deforestation been a problem?
Deforestation began when mankind achieved the ability to cut down trees faster than they could be replaced. Around the time of the Industrial Revolution when more efficient methods of clearing forested land and powered tools and transport were beginning to be introduced.
by conserving nature, we can keep it in proper condition and it wont affect the wildlife in them. we can also get benefits from nature, by getting herbs with high medicinal values etc. and most importantly, we RESPECT mother nature.
What plants would you expect to grow after a fire?
Immediately after a fire, plants that disperse seeds widely - such as those whose seeds are carried by wind - are the first to recolonize. Many of the plants that burned up will re-emerge from the ground if their root system is still alive. Some trees benefit from fires and the decreased competition for sunlight and will grow over the next few decades.
What is the effect on deforestation due to overpopulation?
Deforestation disrupts the balance between trees giving off oxygen, which humans need to breathe, and plants taking in CO2, which plants need and people exhale. This imbalance can contribute to climate change.
Another answer:
Deforestation effect humans because it takes away our sources of medicine and vegetation away from us. This means that there is less chance of new discoveries in the fields of medicine and there is less food to provide us humans.
How many trees are being cut down in the Amazon rain forest every minute?
The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) found that
Between 1990 and 2005 Brazil lost 2,974,867 hectares (7,351,000 acres) of Amazon Rainforests annually.
That's 8,150 ha per day, 340 ha per hour, 5.6 ha every minute. Or 10.5 football fields every minute. (An American Football field measures 0.53 ha (1.32 acres))
Worldwide tropical deforestation rates increased 8.5 percent from 2000-2005 when compared with the 1990s.
Tropical rainforests lost 10,240,133 hectares (25 million acres) annually between 1990 and 2005.
Is deforestation a major cause of global warming?
No, deforestation and habitat loss are not environmental issues.
Instead, deforestation and habitat loss represent environmental problems. As environmental problems, deforestation and habitat loss may result from natural events, such as earthquakes and floods. Or they may be due to human intervention, such as logging, mining, and road building.
Either way, the problem becomes an issue when people try to identify responses or solutions. So in this case, the environmental issue becomes how best to protect and expand forest cover and natural habitats. Among the solutions that may be offered is afforestation.
What happens if there is too much deforestation?
Too much deforestation means:
