deforestation is an very important topic on which no one is talking. no one shows how it effects the world. here is a ppt in which i have written about the vandalism by deforestation .

1. YEARS OF LIVING DANGEROUSLY

2.  Deforestation, clearance or clearing is the removal
of a forest or stand of trees where the land is thereafter
converted to a non-forest use.

3.  Examples of deforestation include conversion of
forestland to farms, ranches, or urban use.
 The most concentrated deforestation occurs
in tropical rainforests. About 30% of Earth's land
surface is covered by forests.
 Deforestation occurs for multiple reasons: trees are cut
down to be used for building or sold as fuel,
(sometimes in the form of charcoal or timber, while
cleared land is used as pasture for livestock and
plantation. The removal of trees without
sufficient reforestation has resulted in damage
to habitat, biodiversity loss and aridity.

4.  Conversion of forests for other land uses, including pulp,
palm, and soy plantations, pastures, settlements
roads and infrastructure.

5. • Forest fires: Each year, fires burn millions of hectares of
forest worldwide. Fires are a part of nature but degraded
forests are particularly vulnerable. These include heavily
logged rainforests, forests on peat soils, or where forest fires
have been suppressed for years allowing unnatural
accumulation of vegetation that makes the fire burn more
intensely. The resulting loss has wide-reaching consequences
on biodiversity, climate, and the economy.

6. •Illegal and unsustainable logging: Illegal logging
occurs in all types of forests across all continents – from
Brazil to Indonesia – destroying nature and wildlife,
taking away community livelihoods and distorting trade.
Illegally harvested wood finds its way into major
consumption markets, such as the U.S., and European
Union, which further fuels the cycle.

7.  Fuel wood harvesting: Over-harvesting for domestic
use or for commercial trade in charcoal significantly
damages forests

8.  Mining: The impact of mining on tropical forests is
growing due to rising demand and high mineral prices.
Mining projects are often accompanied by major
infrastructure construction, such as roads, railway
lines and power stations, putting further pressure on
forests and freshwater ecosystems.

9.  Climate change: Forest loss is both a cause and an
effect of our changing climate. Climate change can
damage forests, for instance by drying out tropical
rainforests and increasing fire damage in boreal
forests. Inside forests, climate change is already
harming biodiversity, a threat that is likely to increase.

11.  INCREASED GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS
 Forests help to mitigate carbon dioxide and other
greenhouse gas emissions, but they become carbon
sources when they are cut, burned or otherwise removed.
Tropical forests hold more than 210 gigatons of carbon,
and deforestation represents around 15% of greenhouse
gas emissions.
 For example, in Sumatra, rainforests on deep peatlands
are being cleared, drained and converted to pulp
plantations, contributing to Indonesia’s high greenhouse
gas emissions. Changes in climate can affect forest-
dwelling creatures by altering their habitats and
decreasing availability of food and water. Some will be
able to adapt by moving to higher elevations or latitudes,
but species losses may occur.

12.  DISRUPTION OF WATER CYCLES
Trees play a key role in the local water cycle by helping to keep a
balance between the water on land and water in the atmosphere.
But when deforestation or degradation occurs, that balance can be
thrown off, resulting in changes in precipitation and river flow.
 INCREASED SOIL EROSION
Without trees to anchor fertile soil, erosion can occur and sweep the
land into rivers. The agricultural plants that often replace the trees
cannot hold onto the soil. Many of these plants—such as coffee,
cotton, palm oil, soybean and wheat—can actually exacerbate soil
erosion. Scientists have estimated that a third of the world’s arable
land has been lost through soil erosion and other types of
degradation since 1960. And as fertile soil washes away, agricultural
producers move on, clearing more forest and continuing the cycle
of soil loss.

14.  IMPACT ON SPECIES
AMUR LEOPARD: They critically endangered
animals found in Russia and China

15. BONOBO: They are threatened animals found
in Congo river basin in Democratic Republic of
the Congo in Central of Africa.

16. ORANGUTAN: They are critically endangered animals found
in BORNEO ,SUMATRA and MALAYSIA.
These are some of the animals getting endangered by the
human activities in the jungle.

17.  There is a great impact of deforestation on pharmacy.
In the rain forest the mutation rate is high because there
is war in silent jungle between trees, bacteria and
animals. The organisms try to evolve as per the theory of
“survival of the fittest". New chemicals, drugs are
obtained from the plants that may be beneficial for the
making of new medicines mainly
antibiotics. Hence deforestation will
indirectly effect us because diseases
are increasing day by day and need for
medicines too.

19.  The Power of the Marketplace
 If corporations have the power to destroy the world’s
forests, they also have the ability to help save them.
Companies can make an impact by introducing “zero
deforestation” policies that clean up their supply
chains. That means holding their suppliers
accountable for producing commodities like timber,
beef, soy, palm oil and paper in a way that does not fuel
deforestation and has a minimal impact on our
climate. Companies should set ambitious targets to
maximize the use of recycled wood, pulp, paper and
fiber in their products.

20.  Standing with Indigenous Peoples
Forests around the world have been home to
Indigenous peoples for tens of thousands of years.
Evidence shows that when Indigenous peoples’ rights
to traditional lands and self-determination are
respected, forests stay standing. But too often,
corporations and governments overlook or
intentionally trample the rights of Indigenous peoples.

21.  Promoting Sustainable Choices
You can make a difference in the fight to save forests
by making informed daily choices.
By using less stuff, eating sustainable food, and
choosing recycled or certified sustainable wood
products, we can all be part of the movement towards
zero deforestation.
Using your voice to speak for forests matters, too.
When people join together and demand forest
conservation, companies and governments have to
listen.

22.  Changing the Politics
If we’re going to stop deforestation, we need
governments to do their part.
That starts with cracking down on corruption and
ensuring fair enforcement of forest conservation rules.
Corruption fuels illegal logging and unsustainable
forest management, which in turn can fuel organized
crime or even armed conflict.
Beyond the rule of law, we need world leaders to
embrace ambitious domestic and international forest
conservation policies based on the latest science.

23.  Adopting the idea of Shubhendu Sharma.
He is the man from India who has created 33 forest in
India. He has ideas about how to grow 100 year old
forest in just 10 years. It may not be like the real one
but it is more effective.

25.  Deforestation in Indonesia involves the long-term loss of
forests and foliage across much of the country; it has had
massive environmental and social impacts. Indonesia is
home to some of the most biologically diverse forests in
the world and ranks third in number of species
behind Brazil and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
 As late as 1900, Indonesia was still a densely forested
country forests represented 84 percent of the total land
area. Deforestation intensified in the 1970s and has
accelerated further since then. The estimated forest
cover of 170 million hectares around 1900 decreased to
less than 100 million hectares by the end of the 20th
century.

26.  The deforested area was illegally given to
multinational companies to grow palm oil trees on
that area by the corrupt government of Indonesia
 By 2012 Indonesia had surpassed the rate
of deforestation in Brazil and become the fastest
forest clearing nation in the world.
 The simplest method of the palm oil companies to
devastate the rain forest was slash and burn technique.
It has put people in state of breathing the smoke of
the forest.

27.  The CO2 emission is also more due to which it may it
will cause Global warming. Due to the more carbon
content in the peat land of Indonesian rain forest the
carbon dioxide emission is more as compared burning
of normal or Amazon forest

29.  Indonesia today is the biggest
supplier of palm oil to the
companies all over the world.
Today from 82% of forest area in
1960 only 49% of forest is left.

30.  The deforestation in has mostly effected the animals
such as orangutan
 Dr Ian Singleton who is the part Sumatran orangutan
conservation program tranquilizes the orangutan and
transfer them to a safer place.
 The orangutan get killed in the forest fires lit up by the
palm oil companies and other companies.
 The orangutan population has shrunk more than 50% in
Sumatra since 1993.I is estimated that one third of the
wild population died during the fires of 1997-98
