The document discusses the impacts of deforestation on animals, people, and the environment. Deforestation is occurring around the world but particularly in Brazil and Panama, where forest loss has been ongoing for 40+ years, destroying over 20% of the Brazilian rainforest. Deforestation leaves animals homeless, hurts ecosystems by reducing biodiversity, and degrades drinking water supplies. It also increases risks of mudslides, warmer temperatures without trees, and disruptions to local communities' livelihoods from loss of forests. Potential solutions proposed include limiting tree cutting, replanting trees, and sustainable land use practices.

Deforestation In Brazil
The document discusses deforestation, particularly in Brazil's Amazon Rainforest. It notes that deforestation is driven by activities like agriculture, logging, and cattle ranching. This has negative environmental impacts such as loss of biodiversity, soil erosion, and disruption of the water cycle. Brazil has the highest annual deforestation rate of any country since 1990. Deforestation threatens ecosystems like the Atlantic Forest in Brazil and reduces habitats for plants and animals.
Deforestation in brazil
The Amazon rainforest covers a large area in South America and is home to 10% of the world's species, but over the past 40 years 20% of it has been cut down. The main driver of deforestation is cattle ranching - ranchers clear the forest to create grazing land, and export beef and leather around the world. This global consumption can contribute to deforestation, though some companies have pledged to stop sourcing from ranches near newly deforested areas in hopes of curbing the problem.

This document outlines the vision, mission, and purpose of an organization called The Woodland Trust. Their vision is for the UK to have abundant native woods and trees that are enjoyed by all. Their mission is to realize the environmental, social, and economic benefits of woods and trees by creating new woodlands, protecting existing woodlands like ancient woodlands, and restoring damaged woodlands. Their purpose is to champion trees and woods, inspire support for their cause, care for and create woods themselves and through partners, and be a trusted resource for woodland conservation.The Deep Roots of the Oak Regeneration Problem
- Oak forests were once dominant across eastern US but have declined significantly since pre-settlement times due to factors like fire suppression and land use changes.
- Today, oaks are limited to areas that experienced heavy cutting or pasture use in the past. Conditions that allowed oaks to regenerate then, like lack of deer, no longer exist.
- Multiple threats further endanger oaks, including pests/pathogens, climate change, overabundant deer, and current forestry practices. Without active management, most oak species in the region will continue to decline.

Deforestation is the cutting down or burning of trees in an area. It occurs to make way for agriculture, cattle farming, and construction of buildings. Deforestation harms the environment by reducing oxygen production, increasing carbon dioxide that causes global warming, and destroying animal habitats. It has already led to many species extinctions and the loss of over 750 million hectares of rainforest globally. Rising temperatures from deforestation could make the climate unlivable for future generations. Individual actions like planting trees and reducing paper usage can help curb deforestation.
Habitat Destruction
Habitat destruction occurs when natural habitats like forests and wetlands are taken over by human activity such as farming, logging, and draining wetlands, destroying the homes and lowering the populations of wild animals. One solution is ecotourism where landowners allow tourists to visit natural areas to see wildlife in exchange for payments, providing an alternative to developing the land.

Rainforest Presentation
The document discusses rainforests and deforestation. It notes that rainforests originally covered 14% of the earth's surface but now only cover 6%. Deforestation is causing 137 species to become extinct every day as forests are cut down to make way for agriculture, settlements, and paper production. Effects of deforestation include landslides and mudslides as tree roots that stabilize soil are removed. Only 55% of the world's original rainforests remain, and without action this could decrease further by 2040 according to a graph shown. The document suggests actions like reducing paper usage, recycling, and using recycled paper to help stop deforestation.

This document discusses deforestation in Malawi. It provides historical background on Malawi's forests, noting that deforestation has reduced forest cover significantly from 1990 to 2005. The main drivers of deforestation are subsistence and commercial agriculture, as well as fuelwood collection. Deforestation has negative environmental and economic impacts for Malawi. Some proposed solutions include banning clear cutting, replanting trees, and improving forest management practices. Moving forward, Malawi faces challenges regarding sustainable electricity, health, political will, and economic development if deforestation continues unchecked.
Deforestation
Deforestation involves the clearing of Earth's forests on a large scale, reducing forest cover to about 30% of the world's land. The main drivers of deforestation are agriculture, as small farmers clear land to feed their families, and the global demand for wood and paper products. While some deforestation occurs naturally through wildfires and overgrazing, human activities are the primary cause and have negative environmental impacts such as loss of habitat for many species. Reforestation efforts aim to plant new trees to replace those cut down and help reduce deforestation.

This document discusses deforestation around the world. It notes that forests currently cover 31% of the land but are being lost at a rate of 46-58 thousand square miles per year, equivalent to 36 football fields per minute. Deforestation is a major threat in tropical rainforests, which contain much of the world's biodiversity. For example, 17% of the Amazon rainforest has been lost in the last 50 years mostly due to cattle ranching and agriculture. Deforestation in the Amazon increased 28% from 2012 to 2013, with over 5,800 square km of forest destroyed. The document lists some of the key causes of deforestation as illegal logging, fires, and fuelwood harvesting.
Deforestation - Causes, Effects and Solution
Deforestation involves the permanent destruction of forests to make land available for other uses. It occurs through deliberate clearing, as well as natural and accidental means. Logging alone accounts for the loss of over 32 million acres of forests annually. Major causes of deforestation include logging for wood products, urbanization to make way for settlements, agricultural activities to meet food demands, mining, and forest fires. The effects are climate imbalance, increased global warming, soil erosion, floods, and wildlife extinction. In the Philippines, deforestation has led to increased flooding, loss of over 6,500 hectares of primary forests since 2002, displacement of indigenous groups, more frequent landslides, and endangered species like the Philippine Eagle.

NLI 2018 Kenya - Team
This document discusses deforestation in Kenya. It defines deforestation as cutting down trees without planting new ones. The main causes of deforestation in Kenya are mining, settlement, paper production, logging, and producing fuel. Deforestation leads to increased soil erosion, changes in water shade, desertification, landslides, pollution, and loss of habitat. The document recommends educating people, using renewable fuels, encouraging tree planting, and government regulation of logging and settlement in forests as solutions. Statistics show that Kenya loses 5.6 million trees daily, reducing its forest cover from 70% to the current 30%.
3 D Kar Yearn And Si Ying, Deforestation
Deforestation negatively impacts the environment in several ways:
1) Without trees to hold the soil, erosion increases, causing soil to wash into rivers which turns the water chalky.
2) Lack of oxygen in rivers kills plants and sea creatures like fish.
3) The disrupted food chain affects the whole ecosystem.
Deforestation
Deforestation is clearing forests on a large scale which damages the land. Each year, areas the size of Panama are lost. At the current rate, the world's rainforests could vanish within 100 years. Forests are cut down mainly for agriculture and logging, to provide more farmland and wood products. This leads to habitat loss, accelerated climate change, and increased greenhouse gases as trees that absorb carbon are removed. More sustainable forest management through reduced clear-cutting and increased replanting efforts could help address the problem.
Deforstation
Deforestation is a serious problem caused by human activities like development and wood collection. It results in the loss of 12 million hectares of forests annually, and could lead to the disappearance of all tropical moist forests by 2050. Deforestation has negative environmental and social impacts like reduced biodiversity, disrupted ecosystems and climates, and threatens human quality of life. While reforestation aims to help, it does not fully replace the original forests. The only way to avoid these consequences is to stop deforestation completely.
Sec 1 geog unit 3 lesson 4
This document discusses deforestation around the world and its key causes. It finds that over 320 square km of rainforests disappear daily, with key areas of deforestation being the Amazon Basin and Indonesia. The main reasons for deforestation given are the need for residential and agricultural space, as well as resources like mining and logging. Specific causes explored include industries clearing land, large-scale cattle ranching and farming replacing forests, and logging/mining operations leveling trees.

Girdling Trees to Create Snags and Coarse Wood Debris and to Improve Wildlife...
Girdling trees and creating snags (dead, standing trees) is a great way to thin woodlots. We discuss how to do this with and without herbicide. Research indicates snags and coarse woody debris - all forms of dead wood - are vital to wildlife. The techniques for girdling trees include both mechanical girdles where the phloem layer is completely removed with a hatchet or other implement and chemical girdling where an herbicide is applied to the girdle. Some trees such as aspen can be girdled without using herbicides. Some trees such as red pine are tougher to kill and require applying an herbicide into the cuts. Another way to create a snag is to cut off all the branches. This method works for most conifers but won't work for most deciduous trees.

Do you know about Deforestation?
Deforestation refers to the decrease in forest areas across the world that are lost for other uses such as agricultural croplands, urbanization or mining activities. It has been negatively affecting natural ecosystems, biodiversity and the climate.
CAUSES OF DEFORESTATION
Agriculture
Commercial or industrial agriculture cause around 40% of forest loss – in the search for space to grow food, fibers or biofuel (such as palm oil, maize, cotton, sugar cane and many more)
Forest fires
We lose large number of trees each year due to fires in the forest. These Fires, whether causes by man or nature results in huge loss of forest cover.
Urbanization
With the expansion of cities and also due to population growth, more land is needed to establish housing and settlements. Therefore forest land is reclaimed.
Effects of Deforestation
Increase in Global Warming
Trees play a major role in controlling global warming. The trees utilize greenhouse gases, restoring the balance in the atmosphere. With constant deforestation, the ratio of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere has increased.
Floods
When it rains, trees absorb and store a large amount of water with the help of their roots. When they are cut down, the flow of water is disrupted, and the soil loses its ability to retain water. It leads to floods in some areas and droughts in others.
Wildlife Extinction
Due to the massive felling down of trees, various animal species are lost. They lose their habitat and also forced to move to a new location. Many of them are even pushed to extinction.
How to Reduce and Prevent Deforestation?
Plant a Tree where you can
The most straightforward personal strategy to fight against deforestation is to plant a tree. Planting a tree could be considered a lifelong investment into the environment and your good mental health.
Educate Others
Still, many are entirely unaware of the global warming problem we’re facing. Educate your friends, family, and community by sharing the deforestation facts, and its causes and effects. You can make an impact!
Use less paper
Since the industry has such a high need for wood, it should come as no surprise that some part of the timber originates from illegal logging.
Recycle paper and cardboard
Imagine how many trees you can save and how much good they perform for the quality of our lives by recycling all your paper.
If we can understand what forests can do for us,
We can stop deforestation.

The main causes of deforestation are listed as cutting down trees, forest fires, industrialization, commercial plantation, and urbanization. Deforestation leads to issues like climate change, natural disasters, soil erosion, and reduced biodiversity. Afforestation and social forestry are proposed as solutions. The document emphasizes that future generations will suffer if deforestation continues and calls for efforts to plant trees and stop deforestation.
Deforestation in Bangladesh and its solution
This document discusses deforestation in Bangladesh. It notes that 50% of Bangladesh's forests have been destroyed in the last 20 years due to activities like agricultural expansion, logging, urbanization, and mining. Deforestation causes problems like heavy soil erosion, extinction of flora and fauna, global warming, and silting of rivers. Some solutions proposed are banning clear cutting of forests, requiring planted trees to replace cut trees for development, and curbing unnecessary felling of trees through laws and regulations.

Deforestation & Sustainability
Deforestation is the cutting down and burning of forests, primarily in tropical rainforests for cattle ranching and agriculture. It is occurring rapidly and could cause rainforests to disappear by 2100 along with over half of all plant and animal species. Trees are important as they absorb carbon dioxide, produce oxygen, aid the water cycle, and act as carbon sinks to reduce global warming. However, deforestation leads to loss of habitat, threatens millions of species, and causes climate change. While deforestation occurs mostly for economic reasons like farming and logging, individuals can take actions like reforestation, recycling, and sustainable farming to help reduce its negative impacts.
Deforestation
Forests currently cover about 30% of the world's land but areas the size of Panama are lost each year due to deforestation. Deforestation damages land quality and threatens wildlife as 1.6 billion people and many endangered species rely on forests for resources. The primary causes of increasing deforestation are population growth, logging, agriculture, mining, and dam construction, which damage the environment by reducing carbon absorption, disrupting the water cycle, causing soil erosion, and endangering biodiversity.

Deforstation
Forests have existed on Earth for 350 million years and provide habitat for many animal species. They also play an important role in regulating climate and air quality by producing oxygen and influencing temperature, moisture levels, and wind speed. However, forests are being destroyed at a rate of 105,000 square km per year, especially in tropical regions, due to logging, infrastructure development, agriculture, and pollution. This is reducing biodiversity and contributing to problems like global warming. To help address this, groups like Greenpeace advocate reducing timber extraction and creating protected forest areas, while individuals can choose recycled products and support tree planting initiatives.

Polar bears are threatened by climate change-induced loss of summer sea ice. Their populations have declined, and they could be extinct in the wild by 2100. Current extinction rates are 100-1000 times higher than historical background rates, and are projected to increase to 10,000 times background rates by 2100 due to human activities. Protecting habitats, establishing protected areas, regulating trade and take of threatened species, and addressing climate change can help reduce extinction rates.

The world may be in grave danger due to increasing deforestation and its effects. Each day over 80,000 acres of tropical rainforests disappear, releasing greenhouse gases and altering the climate. Deforestation is driven by industries clearing forests for profit and agriculture, as well as growing populations and demand for land and resources. This destroys habitats for wildlife like orangutans and contributes to issues like global warming, ozone depletion, and poverty. Groups are working to increase awareness and prevent further deforestation but more global action is needed.
Deforestation
The world may be in grave danger due to increasing deforestation and its effects. Each day over 80,000 acres of tropical rainforests disappear, releasing greenhouse gases and altering the climate. Deforestation is driven by industries clearing forests for profit and development to meet growing population and supply/demand, as well as poverty-stricken countries developing lands for income. This destroys habitats for species like orangutans and contributes to issues like global warming and ozone depletion. Solutions proposed include more sustainable land use, reforestation efforts, environmental awareness campaigns, and groups working to reduce deforestation.
Presentation 9
This document discusses key aspects of rainforests, including soil type, erosion, climate, plants, animals, and other facts. The dominant soil type in rainforests is topsoil, which supports many plant species. Heavy rainfall of 250 inches per year causes water erosion. The warm, wet climate allows rainforests to remain above 25°C year-round and rain nearly every day. Animals like monkeys and scorpions have adapted to live in the forest canopy and floor. While rainforests once covered 14% of the Earth's land, deforestation has reduced that to only 6% today.
Deforestation.
This ppt is related to the deforestation, which hampers our environment and ecosystem, leading to some bad consequences of global warming in our world and it is a cause of concern in current scenario.
deforestation.pptx
The document discusses deforestation, which is the clearing of forests on a large scale. It identifies the main causes of deforestation as agricultural expansion, livestock grazing, logging, demand for firewood, urbanization, mining, and fires. Deforestation has significant negative environmental impacts such as loss of habitat, increased greenhouse gases, disrupted water cycles, soil erosion, flooding, and disrupted livelihoods. Methods to prevent deforestation discussed include afforestation, reforestation, reducing consumption, and supporting environmental organizations. The status of deforestation in Pakistan is also reviewed.
What is Deforestation?
This document discusses forests and deforestation. It defines a forest and describes forests as complex ecosystems that support biodiversity. It then discusses the harmful effects of deforestation, such as increased soil erosion, disruption of water cycles, reduced biodiversity, and climate change. Some key statistics on deforestation rates and causes such as agriculture, logging, mining, and infrastructure development are provided. Solutions to reduce deforestation proposed in the document include encouraging sustainable practices by corporations and individuals and strengthening government policies and enforcement.
AP Environmental Science Ch. 10, part 1 Miller LITE
This document provides an overview of forests and threats to their biodiversity. It discusses the main types of forests, their locations, ecosystem services, and threats like logging practices, fires, invasive species, climate change, and deforestation. Specifically, it notes that old growth forests provide the most biodiversity but make up a small portion of total forests. Clear cutting has advantages for harvesting but degrades soil and wildlife habitat. Prescribed fires can benefit forests whereas crown fires cause severe damage. Invasive species and disease pose major threats that are difficult to control.

Habitat destruction can occur directly from human activities like logging, agriculture, and mining which involve clearing land, or from natural causes. Logging destroys forests by removing large and small trees for wood products. Agriculture expands by clearing land for food production. Mining damages ecosystems through runoff and making areas too acidic for many species. Natural causes such as fires, floods, and earthquakes can also eliminate habitats. As the human population increases, more land is converted from natural habitats for settlements and infrastructure, threatening animal populations by destroying their homes.
Sec 1 geog unit 3 lesson 4
This document discusses deforestation, including where it occurs, its key causes, and measures to lower its impact. Deforestation is happening in rainforest areas like the Amazon Basin and Indonesia, clearing over 320 square km of rainforest daily. The main causes of deforestation are the need for more residential and agricultural space as populations increase, as well as for industries, mining, logging and cattle ranching. Measures proposed to address deforestation include promoting sustainable agriculture and limiting development in forested areas.
Biology deforestation
Deforestation is caused by humans cutting down trees for farming, building materials, and fuel. While forestry can be sustainable if trees are replanted, often this does not occur, leading to deforestation. Deforestation destroys forest habitats, causes atmospheric pollution, reduces biodiversity as plants and animals become extinct, results in soil erosion as trees' root systems can no longer stabilize the soil, and causes increased risks of floods and effects on the climate as the water cycle is impacted by less transpiration.
Completed temperate grassland presentation
Temperate grasslands are found on several continents including North America, Eurasia, South America, Africa, Australia and New Zealand. They are characterized by large, flat lands with very rich soil that supports a variety of grasses and shrubs. During winter, the grasses die off leaving hummus. Temperate grasslands receive between 25-75 cm of annual precipitation and temperatures can range from over 100 degrees F in summer to below -40 degrees F in winter. Common animal species include bison, deer, elk, prairie dogs, rabbits, birds, snakes and foxes while common plant species are cottonwoods, oaks, willows, purple needle grass and sunflowers.
Environmental%20science
This powerpoint discusses the causes and effects of habitat destruction. Habitat destruction occurs directly through human activities like logging, agriculture, and mining which clear land for other uses. These activities as well as natural causes like fires, floods, and climate change reduce the available homes and resources for many animal species. As human needs increase, more deforestation is needed to make way for land and resources, leading to loss of habitat for many plants and animals. The document emphasizes that habitat destruction is largely caused by human population growth and the increasing demand for land and resources.

Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.

Evolving Lifecycles with High Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) and 3-D...
The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.
Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.

Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.
