It is at increasingly alarming rates at which deforestation runs right now. More than 80% of the forested areas have been compromised since the year 2003. If you try to take a look at the satellite overviews of deforested sites, you can almost actually see that there is nothing left of the green lands that we richly used to possess.

The Pros And Cons of Deforestation

What Is Deforestation? Be Proactive: Knowledge Is Power

By Phil on Wednesday, June 17th, 2009 | No Comments

Mankind is feeling the wrath of nature. It seems that more and more natural disasters are taking place; and this has led to consciousness about the earth’s resources. Forests are the most affected ecosystem in the planet. This is probably due to the fact that basic necessities need trees as a raw material.

What is even more appalling is man’s desire for wider land areas, so they cut off more trees in order to convert the area into a housing community or subdivision; and an agricultural land or worse, a dump site – this perhaps can be the answer to what is deforestation.

The Relationship Between Human Population And Deforestation

By Phil on Tuesday, June 16th, 2009 | No Comments

The term human population and deforestation have been used interchangeably through the thickness of time. Could this mean that the growing crowd of humans be the leading cause of our forest depletion today? Well, possibly that could really be the case.

They say that humans build for a better world, but is that really their purpose? Are humans actually building for the world or are they fostering for themselves?

It is unrealistic to emphasize the magnitude of destruction of humankind’s wiping out of the forests. The conversion of forested lands by human deeds denotes .. READ THE REST HERE

Deforestation Statistics Over Time

By Phil on Saturday, June 13th, 2009 | No Comments

Ecological matters affect all life in this planet, from the negligible parasites to the human race. Slight interruption in the Earth’s fragile balance can mean particular damage of the very place that embraces the lives of many species.

It is not so easy searching for ways to cure the presently perilous and confronting movements of planet dilapidation which have been a bother on the planet over the recent years. Deforestation statistics is one of the issues that require further study and consideration. Trees have been or are being cut down at progressively higher rates. If this is not blocked, ill-fated effects could be the consequence.
