Importance of Forest Conservation
The birth and growth of human civilization and culture has been very intimately connected with the forests. Forests have had a great influence on
human thought and way of living. For example, the Vedas and Upanishads, the oldest known religious, philosophical and literary monuments of
mankind are the direct products of forest–life in ancient India. The Aranyakas or the Forest Texts form an integral part of these oldest testaments of
human wisdom and philosophy. They are called so because they were both composed and studied in the forest–dwellings. They contain the
contemplation and meditation of the forest seers, hermits and rishis on God and Soul. Many of the Vedic gods are deified forces of nature. They have
been very beautifully and...show more content...
In the light of this policy, the forest related activities are being given a new orientation. These activities include development of waste lands,
reforestation and reclamation, forest settlement, restriction on grazing and supply of other kinds of fuel, elimination of forest contractors, and
discouragement of monoculture practice, etc. The objectives are really laudable but there is no proper and strict implementation of the policy
decisions. Destruction of forests by timber merchants, contractors, and local people, etc., is still going on. Trees are being cut indiscriminately in the
Himalayas, causing floods, soil erosion and salutation of the rivers and canals of the area. Some enlightened people of the area were very much
concerned at these activities of deforestation and so started

Forest Restoration Essay
Many people do not understand the definition of restoration. Restoration of the forest is returning it to its most natural state. However, the forest is not
a single use area; it houses some of the most important recourses on Earth. Furthermore, it generates revenue for more than one industry in the United
States economy. There are two types of restoration, active and passive but, the focus of this paper is to describe some of the most common active

To begin the decommission process only the first part of the road is completely obliterated and the rest of the road is left in its current state. The
purpose of this is to minimize the time, labor, and money spend on any particular road since the funding is so minimal (Crawford). Since the forest
is a multiple use area, it is important to know that restoration is site specific and different for each zone. The most effective techniques for campsite
and recreation area restoration is seeding and transplanting (Cole). The techniques designed to improve not only the physical properties but also
the biological and chemical properties of the soil. Once the soil is in prime condition, it is more likely that the treated area will be fertile. For the
entire project to be successful, it is necessary to close the site so that there are no disturbances during the process of restoration. It is often
controversial when a restoration site closes to the public because there are many people using the forest for a variety of reasons. Whether it is a
recreation, endangered species, livestock grazing, or a watershed area to be restored all other, elements must be considered because in they are all

Preservation of Forest
Preservation of Forests resources
Several measures have been prescribed for the preservation of the forests. They are as follows:
The trees cut down for timber or other uses, should be matched with planting of more trees, so that, there is no scarcity.
The use of fuel wood and wood charcoal should be discouraged. The conventional sources of energy should be tapped. Biogas should be employed for
cooking, to lessen the consumption of fuel wood.
Modern methods of forest management should be practised. A forest is a very vulnerable asset. The slight neglect or unscientific working can rapidly
deplete and may even annihilate it after which reforesting of the area may not be economically feasible.

The Decrease Of Forest Cover And Forest Resources
Introduction
Bangladesh is one of the most densely populated countries of the world with a population more than 150 million. The rate of population increase is
decreasing in Bangladesh but still it is high enough to create immense pressure on different sectors like agriculture, forestry, economy etc. To fulfill the
demand of increasing population more agricultural lands, buildup areas, settlements, roads and highways are necessary. These development activities
will definitely corroborate the decrease of forest cover and forest resources in Bangladesh. It is evident that global climate is changing and Bangladesh
is one of the most vulnerable countries in the world due to climate change. In the near future temperature will increase, sea level will rise, and
incessant rainfall events will increase in a whole there will be an accentuation of extreme events. These extreme events will affect the forest resources
and biodiversity of Bangladesh. For example only 0.5 meter sea level rise will inundate the whole Sundarbans. So for ensuring habitat and sustainable
environment for the present and future generations of the country amelioration of forest and forest recourses, conservation and identification of
biodiversity and increase of forest cover up to idea limit are necessary. Forest Resources in Bangladesh

Descriptive Essay : A Trip To The Forest
Sometimes I get overwhelmed with my schoolwork or things I have to do. Other times I want to go to a quiet place where I can think clearly.
However, most of the time I just want a quiet place where I can walk for exercise. For me, that place is the forest. Luckily, a person I know owns
forestland that has trails and roads to walk on. Whenever I want to walk, no matter what reason, I know I can go to this forest. Today I am going to
the forest to look at the fall scenery and hopefully see some wildlife. The forest is a calm and peaceful place where you can go to relax and enjoy
nature. At the entrance of the main forest trail, there are bright red, orange, and yellow leaves on the trees. These colorful leaves form a carpet on
the ground as they fall. The carpets of leaves on the ground stand out from the green ferns and bushes that grow all along the trail. As I walk along
the trail, the fallen leaves crunch under my feet. The scent of all the leaves fills the air. Chipmunks are running at the speed of light around the forest
collecting nuts for the winter. If I pay close enough attention, I can even see the chipmunks going underground into their holes. Leaves are rustling as
a breeze blows them around the forest. Birds of various sizes and colors are chirping and singing throughout the forest. In the distance, woodpeckers
are pecking at the trees. The sounds from the birds and leaves add to the tranquil atmosphere. The trail leads to a large clearing that is on the top of a

The Pros Of Conserving The Forest
Before its legislation, there were previous attempts at conserving the forest, for example: "[t]he first attempt to establish a more general wilderness
policy by the Forest Service came in 1929 when the agency issued Regulation L–20...primitive conditions would be maintained...however, indicated
that timber, forage, and water resources could still be developed in these areas. This effort was plagued by unclear directives and the lack of support
of many foresters, who favored the use of resources, not their preservation." (Wilderness Act) Additionally, the second attempt was made in 1939,
where a stricter more precise version of the L–20, called U–Regulation were adopted. After the wilderness movement lost momentum around the 30's,
it was revived

The And Of The Forest
In investigation 1, the data points are very clustered from the height of 150cm to the height of 300cm. This makes sense as saplings are defined as
young trees that are taller than 1.35m above the forest floor. So between 150cm and 300cm is most likely average height which would be the majority
of the population. The overall data set of investigation 1 is alot more spread out than the compact data set of investigation 2. On the other hand, in
investigation 2 all the data points are overlapping and in line with the regression line, up to a height of 600cm where there is few data points,
indicating that the majority of saplings taken in this sample are young and planted for regeneration of the forest purposes.
In both cases there is a positive relationship between the two sets of variables. In investigation one, as H of a sapling increases, the DBH tends to
increase. This would make sense because as the sapling grows up, it subsequently grows in diameter because it manufactures new cells around its
circumference which increase the diameter at breast height in order to maintain and support the weight of the growing height. On the graph there
appears to be some unusal feature's where the height of the Sapling is approx 450cm however the DBH of just below 10cm is alot lower than the
other saplings of the sample population that have a height of 450cm. It is possible that some sapling trees, like this one, are alot thinner and taller. This
could be caused by a mutation. However

FOREST CONSERVATION
Forests are one of the most important natural resources that have been gifted to mankind for their sustained existence on earth. Without question, they
provide us with huge amounts of tangible and intangible benefits, without which indeed, all life, less to say human life, would fall under the risk of
extinction. Hence, it is vital for us to realize this importance of forest cover, conserve them, and ultimately work towards a sustainable way to
maintain our forests and meet our needs at the same time. In this paper, I have focused initially on the barbaric behavior of us human beings towards

CONSERVATION AND PRESERVATION: These two terms are often confused with one another, but they refer to two slightly different concepts.
Preservation of anything is basically keeping it in such manner that it cannot or should not be touched or used. For instance, if a forest is being
preserved it means that it is to be kept untouched and nothing is to be extracted from it. It is to be left to its own accord. On the other hand,
conservation implies more towards a sustained use, or use in a sustainable fashion. As in the example given above, if a forest is declared as conserved,
it means that resources may be extracted in a systematic and accounted way, so as not to compromise the forests ability to replenish itself in terms of
resources, and so that it may continue its intangible functions properly.
SUSTAINABILITY AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT: The term refers to the existence and maintenance of a system, on its own accord, over a
period of time, or that a system is able to stand and function by itself for a certain duration. This term then leads on to sustainable development, which

Excitement filling the heart and souls of the small town civilians, people across town wake up earlier than they might have planned only for that
special occasion. Living one block away from Main Street I start to see families line up across Main Street with kids dragging their parents telling
them they need to get good spots in order to get the more candy than their friends. I see trucks and floats line up beside my house that will soon go
down main street for all the citizens of Gurdon to see. When the clock hits nine I no longer see kids dragging their parents behind them trying to get
a good spot but I see the beginning of a new experience for kids and families that just moved to the area. As soon as the police lights turn on and the
high school band playing behind it I see a new story to be told, one that we will tell when we grow old. Our kids might not live in the same place
that we grew up in and they might never witness the Forest Festival first hand like we did, they won't get the memories we had. They probably won't

The crucial role of the Philippine government on wildlife conservation
Thesis Statement: The Wildlife Resources Conservation and Protection Act (R.A. 9174) of the Philippines should be prioritized and reinstated because
of its failure to serve its purpose in the past, its ability to lessen the rising human–caused extinction rates, and its possible influence in restoring and
promoting action regarding wildlife conservation.
The loss of biodiversity and wildlife is becoming a larger problem every year yet most people disregard it and its consequences. Wildlife plays a big
part in maintaining environmental support to human life––serving as a source of food, contributing to agriculture, aiding in medical research, and many
more. The continued erosion of ecosystem and species diversity threatens the progress to a sustainable society and lessens the chances of stable
environmental conditions in the future. As the effects of human actions become more damaging to the environment and the situation of wildlife
worsens, the government must step up and introduce national policies for conservation....show more content...
9147 would be enforced properly, Philippine wildlife conservation may become more successful. The policy itself does not require modifications. It is
in the process of following its objectives that begs for reform. The government may start by changing current policies that allow and invite the misuse
of wildlife and other environmental resources. Aside from formulating environmental policies for conservation, the government should also consider
altering policies that motivate citizens to exploit the environment. Such policies are those which promote over–exploitation of forests, damaging
habitats for the purpose of urbanization, and the overuse of natural resources (Reid, Barber & Miller,

Persuasive Essay On Deforestation
I take a deep breath, opening my lungs to the fresh air that engulfs me. It appears that I am in a scene that could only be described as a slice of
heaven. As I look around the ground is illuminated by small slivers of sunlight that squeeze their way through the canopy. Luscious greens plastered
everywhere I look, glimpses of color catch my eye. While I close my eyes I can hear the sounds of birds chirping and the noise as squirrels scamper
across the forest floor. However decades of greed and little care for the environment has led to the downfall of the majestic forests, an essential part
of a healthy ecosystem. If we allow our patterns of carelessness to continue, the forests will be damaged beyond repair. Stories such as "The Lorax"
will become more than just childhood fiction. Our damage to the forests is incredibly upsetting considering that they are a necessity of life for both
humans and millions of plant and animal species. Action needs to be taken to at least reduce the amount of forests that we destroy or put more effort
into conservation and afforestation. Take a second before you protest this "tree hugger" mentality to consider the damage from deforestation.
These events call to question how deforestation affect the environment and native species? To fully understand the question, you must first
understand the problem. Deforestation is the removal of trees from a certain area. There are many reasons for deforestation; one of the most popular
excuses is that the land is needed to support livestock or to cultivate crops. However these are on smaller scales, small farms will cut down trees near
them. On a larger scale, logging companies will clear cut areas for timber to sell or to clear land for development. According to Justin Worland of
Time Magazine, people cut down approximately 15 billion trees a year, this has caused the tree population to fall 46% since the beginning of human
civilization. The world's forests cannot continue this pattern of destruction.

Descriptive Essay Of A Forest
The exhilaration of a terrifyingly glorious leap sends ardent shrills down my spine. As I fly through the thick canopy of leafy chlorophyll–filled greens,
I reach out to the sky and the sun smiles back at me. Inhaling the fresh raw air, the earthy petrichor floods my nostrils with an indescribably sprightly
scent; I thank the prolific trees for such a crisp, oxygen abundant delight. Rising adrenaline mixed with high elevations and unbelievable speed is the
perfect recipe for an intense overflow of profound emotions. Exposure to such a breathtaking experience creates a sense of avidity, parallel with
appreciation for its very existence. To literally have my head in the clouds is an infatuation only satisfied here. Breathing in once again, my
surroundings blur and I seem to freeze in time. In this moment, suspended in the forest, I hear a lone bird chip once, twice, but the third is absent. I
search for the origin of the sound but I am moving in slow motion without a clear picture surrounding me. Exhaling, my speed regains full strength
with a powerful breeze howling in my ears and lone bird is joined by a chorus of the forest's inhabitants in harmony. The line feeds through a small
opening in the mother tree's arms. She welcomes me with open arms; her sharp branches leave the memory of her on my skin. The kind wind kisses my
small scrapes, tickling my hairs, causing them to stand tall on my arms. I soar into a breathtaking bright clearing causing my hairs to rest at ease.
The warmth surrounds me like a blanket and a cloud covers the sun, allowing me to fully experience the astonishing serenity. The dull light is
peaceful; it calms me. Somehow I am speeding through the sky but I am more relaxed than I have ever been. This energy is new to me; I am free
to feel any and every emotion I have ever had. The overwhelming feeling urges me to yell. I call to the birds and let my heart overflow with fervor.
Once again, I fill my lungs and exhale with a roar. I am a free bird. It is a dangerous euphoria that seems never ending. When it ends, I know I will be
left with a desperate longing for the refreshing adventure so I simply live in the moment. Letting go of the harness I swing my arms back

Great Forest National Park Proposal
Conclusion The likelihood of the Great Forest National Park proposal going ahead depends on support based on both the positive and negative

Forest Is A Natural Resource
Forest is a natural resource, which mostly constitute of huge trees. Forest is a major part of a country. The forestry and wood Industry, considers the
usage of wood because of how rapid wood is being used in construction. Sustainable means to maintain something without losing its value or richness.
Materials are items, which are used for specific things or aid in achieving an idea and also help to facilitate something. "Sustainable forestry means
managing our forest resources to meet the needs we have today without interfering with our future generations' needs"(Green Works). The main
materials obtained from trees are wood, which in Canada are mostly used in constructing more than 80% of a building or structure. Wood is also
widely used all over the world, thus must be controlled to prevent depletion. Adopting a rule, which allows people to cut one tree down and
immediately plant two more to replace it.
Materials from the trees, which are wood, have their uses and specific uses due to their properties. Some examples of forest trees are Mahogany, Oak,
Timber, Douglas fir, Ashes, Maple and Junipers. Most of the trees mentioned above are durable and strong, thus are used in building structures. Due, to
this property from the trees in the forest the building industries decided to use it to construct structures. Wood is financially affordable for construction.
It makes construction faster and easier due, to its versatility. Lumber is made out of the trees when it is felled.

Causes Of Forest Depletion
Introduction:
Forests are the important part of the Earth's ecosystem. 31 percent of earth's land is covered by the forest area (Adams EE, 2012). In context of
Nepal, 40.36% land is covered by the forest (Government of Nepal). A large number of people mostly in the rural part of Nepal are highly dependent
on the various resources of forest such as firewood, timber, litter, fodder and non–timber forest products for their livelihood. Although, it is believed
that invasive species such as Mikania, Lantana and diseases for example wood borer, defoliator are the causes of degradation of forest, this essay will
argue that forest fire and deforestation are the reasons for the depletion of forest in Nepal. Burning fire by people, poachers, grazers and non–timber
forest product collectors and development process activities and the reliance of Nepalese people to natural resources lead towards the depletion of

These fractions can vary depending the species and age class. The model keeps track of the infested and un–infested hectares separately. Other existing
approach like Levy, Hipel et Kilgour (2000) proposes a multicriteria methodology integrating uncertainty by identifying different alternatives that are
robust to environmental uncertainty using sustainable development indicators such as forest volume, spray area, and harvest area to make and to take
complex decisions using forest management decision policies on SBW populations in Eastern Canada, New Brunswick. For instance, Shoemaker
(1981) discusses the methods for addressing the pest management models are characterized by a) large number of variables; b) stochastic, nonlinear
population dynamics; and c) fixed cost functions. It suggests that Stochastic Optimization is a good approach for dealing with pest problems as well
as dynamic programming but several other optimization methods have also proven useful for random environments as they provide also previous
information. The most exhaustive systems analysis of forest pest management has focused on the SBW, a pest which in recent years has killed
hundreds of thousands of hectares of coniferous trees in eastern Canada and United States. Shoemaker (1981) does not consider the age for the

University shows that during 2000–2012, the world forest was lost with approximately 2.3 million square kilometers per year. Particularly in Indonesia,
they said that deforestation rate increases from 10,000 square kilometers in 2000–2003 to 20,000 square kilometers in 2011–2012. As stated by

biodiversity, the climate, and people. Furthermore, Riesco (2005) said that forest loss can have significant direct and indirect impacts on human health.
In addition, she said that:

Importance Of Forest Conservation

  • 1. Importance of Forest Conservation The birth and growth of human civilization and culture has been very intimately connected with the forests. Forests have had a great influence on human thought and way of living. For example, the Vedas and Upanishads, the oldest known religious, philosophical and literary monuments of mankind are the direct products of forest–life in ancient India. The Aranyakas or the Forest Texts form an integral part of these oldest testaments of human wisdom and philosophy. They are called so because they were both composed and studied in the forest–dwellings. They contain the contemplation and meditation of the forest seers, hermits and rishis on God and Soul. Many of the Vedic gods are deified forces of nature. They have been very beautifully and...show more content... In the light of this policy, the forest related activities are being given a new orientation. These activities include development of waste lands, reforestation and reclamation, forest settlement, restriction on grazing and supply of other kinds of fuel, elimination of forest contractors, and discouragement of monoculture practice, etc. The objectives are really laudable but there is no proper and strict implementation of the policy decisions. Destruction of forests by timber merchants, contractors, and local people, etc., is still going on. Trees are being cut indiscriminately in the Himalayas, causing floods, soil erosion and salutation of the rivers and canals of the area. Some enlightened people of the area were very much concerned at these activities of deforestation and so started Get more content on HelpWriting.net

However, the forest is not a single use area; it houses some of the most important recourses on Earth. Furthermore, it generates revenue for more than one industry in the United States economy. There are two types of restoration, active and passive but, the focus of this paper is to describe some of the most common active restoration techniques and how it positively influences the environment and economy There are many ways and techniques of restoration some using heavy machinery and some using no equipment at all.

To begin the decommission process only the first part of the road is completely obliterated and the rest of the road is left in its current state. The purpose of this is to minimize the time, labor, and money spend on any particular road since the funding is so minimal (Crawford). Since the forest is a multiple use area, it is important to know that restoration is site specific and different for each zone. The most effective techniques for campsite and recreation area restoration is seeding and transplanting (Cole). The techniques designed to improve not only the physical properties but also the biological and chemical properties of the soil. Once the soil is in prime condition, it is more likely that the treated area will be fertile. For the entire project to be successful, it is necessary to close the site so that there are no disturbances during the process of restoration. It is often controversial when a restoration site closes to the public because there are many people using the forest for a variety of reasons. Whether it is a recreation, endangered species, livestock grazing, or a watershed area to be restored all other, elements must be considered because in they are all connected in the community.

They are as follows: The trees cut down for timber or other uses, should be matched with planting of more trees, so that, there is no scarcity. The use of fuel wood and wood charcoal should be discouraged. The conventional sources of energy should be tapped. Biogas should be employed for cooking, to lessen the consumption of fuel wood. Modern methods of forest management should be practised. A forest is a very vulnerable asset.

  • 6. The Decrease Of Forest Cover And Forest Resources Introduction Bangladesh is one of the most densely populated countries of the world with a population more than 150 million. The rate of population increase is decreasing in Bangladesh but still it is high enough to create immense pressure on different sectors like agriculture, forestry, economy etc. To fulfill the demand of increasing population more agricultural lands, buildup areas, settlements, roads and highways are necessary. These development activities will definitely corroborate the decrease of forest cover and forest resources in Bangladesh. It is evident that global climate is changing and Bangladesh is one of the most vulnerable countries in the world due to climate change. In the near future temperature will increase, sea level will rise, and incessant rainfall events will increase in a whole there will be an accentuation of extreme events. These extreme events will affect the forest resources and biodiversity of Bangladesh. For example only 0.5 meter sea level rise will inundate the whole Sundarbans. So for ensuring habitat and sustainable environment for the present and future generations of the country amelioration of forest and forest recourses, conservation and identification of biodiversity and increase of forest cover up to idea limit are necessary.

  • 7. Descriptive Essay : A Trip To The Forest Sometimes I get overwhelmed with my schoolwork or things I have to do. Other times I want to go to a quiet place where I can think clearly. However, most of the time I just want a quiet place where I can walk for exercise. For me, that place is the forest. Luckily, a person I know owns forestland that has trails and roads to walk on. Whenever I want to walk, no matter what reason, I know I can go to this forest. Today I am going to the forest to look at the fall scenery and hopefully see some wildlife. The forest is a calm and peaceful place where you can go to relax and enjoy nature. At the entrance of the main forest trail, there are bright red, orange, and yellow leaves on the trees. These colorful leaves form a carpet on the ground as they fall. The carpets of leaves on the ground stand out from the green ferns and bushes that grow all along the trail. As I walk along the trail, the fallen leaves crunch under my feet. The scent of all the leaves fills the air. Chipmunks are running at the speed of light around the forest collecting nuts for the winter. If I pay close enough attention, I can even see the chipmunks going underground into their holes. Leaves are rustling as a breeze blows them around the forest. Birds of various sizes and colors are chirping and singing throughout the forest. In the distance, woodpeckers are pecking at the trees. The sounds from the birds and leaves add to the tranquil atmosphere. The trail leads to a large clearing that is on the top of a Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 8. The Pros Of Conserving The Forest Before its legislation, there were previous attempts at conserving the forest, for example: "[t]he first attempt to establish a more general wilderness policy by the Forest Service came in 1929 when the agency issued Regulation L–20...primitive conditions would be maintained...however, indicated that timber, forage, and water resources could still be developed in these areas. This effort was plagued by unclear directives and the lack of support of many foresters, who favored the use of resources, not their preservation." (Wilderness Act) Additionally, the second attempt was made in 1939, where a stricter more precise version of the L–20, called U–Regulation were adopted. After the wilderness movement lost momentum around the 30's, it was revived Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 9. The And Of The Forest In investigation 1, the data points are very clustered from the height of 150cm to the height of 300cm. This makes sense as saplings are defined as young trees that are taller than 1.35m above the forest floor. So between 150cm and 300cm is most likely average height which would be the majority of the population. The overall data set of investigation 1 is alot more spread out than the compact data set of investigation 2. On the other hand, in investigation 2 all the data points are overlapping and in line with the regression line, up to a height of 600cm where there is few data points, indicating that the majority of saplings taken in this sample are young and planted for regeneration of the forest purposes. In both cases there is a positive relationship between the two sets of variables. In investigation one, as H of a sapling increases, the DBH tends to increase. This would make sense because as the sapling grows up, it subsequently grows in diameter because it manufactures new cells around its circumference which increase the diameter at breast height in order to maintain and support the weight of the growing height. On the graph there appears to be some unusal feature's where the height of the Sapling is approx 450cm however the DBH of just below 10cm is alot lower than the other saplings of the sample population that have a height of 450cm. It is possible that some sapling trees, like this one, are alot thinner and taller. This could be caused by a mutation. However Get more content on HelpWriting.net

Without question, they provide us with huge amounts of tangible and intangible benefits, without which indeed, all life, less to say human life, would fall under the risk of extinction. Hence, it is vital for us to realize this importance of forest cover, conserve them, and ultimately work towards a sustainable way to maintain our forests and meet our needs at the same time.

(Davis). CONSERVATION AND PRESERVATION: These two terms are often confused with one another, but they refer to two slightly different concepts. Preservation of anything is basically keeping it in such manner that it cannot or should not be touched or used. For instance, if a forest is being preserved it means that it is to be kept untouched and nothing is to be extracted from it. It is to be left to its own accord. On the other hand, conservation implies more towards a sustained use, or use in a sustainable fashion. As in the example given above, if a forest is declared as conserved, it means that resources may be extracted in a systematic and accounted way, so as not to compromise the forests ability to replenish itself in terms of resources, and so that it may continue its intangible functions properly. SUSTAINABILITY AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT: The term refers to the existence and maintenance of a system, on its own accord, over a period of time, or that a system is able to stand and function by itself for a certain duration. This term then leads on to sustainable development, which the latest of concepts in development of a nation and its entities.

Living one block away from Main Street I start to see families line up across Main Street with kids dragging their parents telling them they need to get good spots in order to get the more candy than their friends. I see trucks and floats line up beside my house that will soon go down main street for all the citizens of Gurdon to see. When the clock hits nine I no longer see kids dragging their parents behind them trying to get a good spot but I see the beginning of a new experience for kids and families that just moved to the area. As soon as the police lights turn on and the high school band playing behind it I see a new story to be told, one that we will tell when we grow old. Our kids might not live in the same place that we grew up in and they might never witness the Forest Festival first hand like we did, they won't get the memories we had.

Pascua, Francis Augustus A. ___________________________________________________April 21, 2015 ENG 2 V–4R____________________________________________________________________LRP Draft The crucial role of the Philippine government on wildlife conservation Thesis Statement: The Wildlife Resources Conservation and Protection Act (R.A. 9174) of the Philippines should be prioritized and reinstated because of its failure to serve its purpose in the past, its ability to lessen the rising human–caused extinction rates, and its possible influence in restoring and promoting action regarding wildlife conservation. The loss of biodiversity and wildlife is becoming a larger problem every year yet most people disregard it and its consequences. Wildlife plays a big part in maintaining environmental support to human life––serving as a source of food, contributing to agriculture, aiding in medical research, and many more. The continued erosion of ecosystem and species diversity threatens the progress to a sustainable society and lessens the chances of stable environmental conditions in the future. As the effects of human actions become more damaging to the environment and the situation of wildlife worsens, the government must step up and introduce national policies for conservation....show more content... 9147 would be enforced properly, Philippine wildlife conservation may become more successful. The policy itself does not require modifications. It is in the process of following its objectives that begs for reform. The government may start by changing current policies that allow and invite the misuse of wildlife and other environmental resources. Aside from formulating environmental policies for conservation, the government should also consider altering policies that motivate citizens to exploit the environment. Such policies are those which promote over–exploitation of forests, damaging habitats for the purpose of urbanization, and the overuse of natural resources (Reid, Barber & Miller, Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 13. Persuasive Essay On Deforestation I take a deep breath, opening my lungs to the fresh air that engulfs me. It appears that I am in a scene that could only be described as a slice of heaven. As I look around the ground is illuminated by small slivers of sunlight that squeeze their way through the canopy. Luscious greens plastered everywhere I look, glimpses of color catch my eye. While I close my eyes I can hear the sounds of birds chirping and the noise as squirrels scamper across the forest floor. However decades of greed and little care for the environment has led to the downfall of the majestic forests, an essential part of a healthy ecosystem. If we allow our patterns of carelessness to continue, the forests will be damaged beyond repair. Stories such as "The Lorax" will become more than just childhood fiction. Our damage to the forests is incredibly upsetting considering that they are a necessity of life for both humans and millions of plant and animal species. Action needs to be taken to at least reduce the amount of forests that we destroy or put more effort into conservation and afforestation. Take a second before you protest this "tree hugger" mentality to consider the damage from deforestation. These events call to question how deforestation affect the environment and native species? To fully understand the question, you must first understand the problem. Deforestation is the removal of trees from a certain area. There are many reasons for deforestation; one of the most popular excuses is that the land is needed to support livestock or to cultivate crops. However these are on smaller scales, small farms will cut down trees near them. On a larger scale, logging companies will clear cut areas for timber to sell or to clear land for development. According to Justin Worland of Time Magazine, people cut down approximately 15 billion trees a year, this has caused the tree population to fall 46% since the beginning of human civilization. The world's forests cannot continue this pattern of destruction. Amazon Rainforest One of the most iconic forests the Amazon Rainforest is taking a major hit from deforestation.

  • 14. Descriptive Essay Of A Forest The exhilaration of a terrifyingly glorious leap sends ardent shrills down my spine. As I fly through the thick canopy of leafy chlorophyll–filled greens, I reach out to the sky and the sun smiles back at me. Inhaling the fresh raw air, the earthy petrichor floods my nostrils with an indescribably sprightly scent; I thank the prolific trees for such a crisp, oxygen abundant delight. Rising adrenaline mixed with high elevations and unbelievable speed is the perfect recipe for an intense overflow of profound emotions. Exposure to such a breathtaking experience creates a sense of avidity, parallel with appreciation for its very existence. To literally have my head in the clouds is an infatuation only satisfied here. Breathing in once again, my surroundings blur and I seem to freeze in time. In this moment, suspended in the forest, I hear a lone bird chip once, twice, but the third is absent. I search for the origin of the sound but I am moving in slow motion without a clear picture surrounding me. Exhaling, my speed regains full strength with a powerful breeze howling in my ears and lone bird is joined by a chorus of the forest's inhabitants in harmony. The line feeds through a small opening in the mother tree's arms. She welcomes me with open arms; her sharp branches leave the memory of her on my skin. The kind wind kisses my small scrapes, tickling my hairs, causing them to stand tall on my arms. I soar into a breathtaking bright clearing causing my hairs to rest at ease. The warmth surrounds me like a blanket and a cloud covers the sun, allowing me to fully experience the astonishing serenity. The dull light is peaceful; it calms me. Somehow I am speeding through the sky but I am more relaxed than I have ever been. This energy is new to me; I am free to feel any and every emotion I have ever had. The overwhelming feeling urges me to yell. I call to the birds and let my heart overflow with fervor. Once again, I fill my lungs and exhale with a roar. I am a free bird. It is a dangerous euphoria that seems never ending. When it ends, I know I will be left with a desperate longing for the refreshing adventure so I simply live in the moment.

Great Forest National Park Proposal Conclusion The likelihood of the Great Forest National Park proposal going ahead depends on support based on both the positive and negative affects of the change. Many who use the area whether it be for recreational or business purposes are against the proposal.

In context of Nepal, 40.36% land is covered by the forest (Government of Nepal). A large number of people mostly in the rural part of Nepal are highly dependent on the various resources of forest such as firewood, timber, litter, fodder and non–timber forest products for their livelihood. Although, it is believed that invasive species such as Mikania, Lantana and diseases for example wood borer, defoliator are the causes of degradation of forest, this essay will argue that forest fire and deforestation are the reasons for the depletion of forest in Nepal. Burning fire by people, poachers, grazers and non–timber forest product collectors and development process activities and the reliance of Nepalese people to natural resources lead towards the depletion of forest. Next paragraph will define ke Definition Forest degradation can be defined as physical harm or decrease in quality of resources of forest. (Earth Eclipse, 2017). Forest degradation can results heavy destruction of trees, unfettered wildlife behavior and damaged biodiversity. In terms of forest fire, Satendra & Kaushik (2014) explained that uncontrolled and openly scattered fire flames in forest which is generated by natural fuels can be defined as forest fire. Intense fire is dangerous for both plant and animal life to recover their in normal stage. Additionally, Van Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 18. Essay On The Forest The SBW is one of the most destructive insect defoliators in North America with outbreaks recurring every 30–35 years resulting in tree mortality after 5–6 years of severe defoliation. The MinГЁstere des ForГЄts, de la Faune et des Parcs (MFFP) (2014) suggests that two main factors can help to determine if the forest presents a case of SBW infestation due to the susceptibility of trees and its vulnerability depending on the characteristics of the tree (e.g. shape, size, color, species, and age) as this living organism is a great threat to the forest due to the severity of damage caused by these elements and more important, a great quantity of trees could die causing loss of revenues (MinistГЁre des ForГЄts, 2015). The more susceptible trees ...show more content... These fractions can vary depending the species and age class. The model keeps track of the infested and un–infested hectares separately. Other existing approach like Levy, Hipel et Kilgour (2000) proposes a multicriteria methodology integrating uncertainty by identifying different alternatives that are robust to environmental uncertainty using sustainable development indicators such as forest volume, spray area, and harvest area to make and to take complex decisions using forest management decision policies on SBW populations in Eastern Canada, New Brunswick. For instance, Shoemaker (1981) discusses the methods for addressing the pest management models are characterized by a) large number of variables; b) stochastic, nonlinear population dynamics; and c) fixed cost functions. It suggests that Stochastic Optimization is a good approach for dealing with pest problems as well as dynamic programming but several other optimization methods have also proven useful for random environments as they provide also previous information. The most exhaustive systems analysis of forest pest management has focused on the SBW, a pest which in recent years has killed hundreds of thousands of hectares of coniferous trees in eastern Canada and United States. Shoemaker (1981) does not consider the age for the planning horizon of the model (over a hundred years) analyzing their economic value when harvested because of SBW damage. Others like Hennigar et al. (2007) optimizes the Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 19. Efforts for Forest Conservation Today forest loss due to conversion into to other land use has reached a dangerous level. Recent study conducted by the researchers from the University of Maryland, the State University of New York, Google, the U.S. Geological Survey, Woods Hole Research Center, and South Dakota State University shows that during 2000–2012, the world forest was lost with approximately 2.3 million square kilometers per year. Particularly in Indonesia, they said that deforestation rate increases from 10,000 square kilometers in 2000–2003 to 20,000 square kilometers in 2011–2012. As stated by XXXXX ( ) that forest essentially has role in regulating the water,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,. In other word, Forest loss can lead to variety of devastating impacts such as floods, droughts, and landslides. These trends tend to be more awful in the future unless appropriate actions. This essay will describe the implication, identify the main causes, and suggest solutions. The impact of forest conversion involves ecology and humanity. The World Wildlife Foundation indicates that deforestation has negative effects on biodiversity, the climate, and people. Furthermore, Riesco (2005) said that forest loss can have significant direct and indirect impacts on human health. In addition, she said that: "forest loss can contribute directly to the severity of these health problems through disruption of the water cycle and increased soil erosion, as well as indirectly though very significant – through its effects on Get more content on HelpWriting.net
