ESSAY ON “DEFORESTATION” Introduction Deforestation is the removal of trees and other plants from forest areas more quickly than they can be replanted or regenerated naturally. It is a problem because of the parts that the trees have to play in stabilising the...
It happen when deforestation occurred! By definition, deforestation means the cutting or removal of trees from woodlands or forests in order to convert the land into commercial or logging reasons or for whatever purpose it may serve them (Hata 2008). People agree with deforestation because of agriculture...

Direct causes of deforestation are agricultural expansion, wood extraction (e.g., logging or wood harvest for domestic fuel or charcoal), and infrastructure expansion such as road building and urbanization. Rarely is there a single direct cause for deforestation. Most often, multiple processes...
Deforestation; It’s a topic we don’t think about in our day to day life. A lot of people believe that when we deforest the world, we are not doing a lot of damage. But we have lost over 20% of our rain forests alone. Costa Rica “experiences a rapid deforestation rate of 2.9% annually.” (Jones) ...

Deforestation is the clearance of naturally occurring forests by logging and burning. Deforestation occurs for many reasons: trees or derived charcoal are used as, or sold, for fuel or as a commodity, while cleared land is used as pasture for livestock, plantations of commodities, and settlements. The...

where the way that people think and act will be philosophically and socially affected in order to create a “green” attitude towards the Earth. Here is how it works; before the industrial revolution, the Earth’s atmosphere contained about 280 parts per million of carbon dioxide (CO2). That was a good amount...

They all occur in a band that lies roughly between the tropics of Cancer and Capricorn. However, some storms can form just outside of the tropics, but in general the...
the heat that’s being trapped in the atmosphere causes climate changes to occur. These sudden changes make it harder for living organisms to survive. The result of burning of coal and fossil fuel, desertification, and deforestation are the reasons why the heating and changes of the earth is taking place...
