Prevent Deforestation
The document discusses the importance of forests and the need to prevent deforestation. It notes that forests provide benefits like consuming carbon dioxide and emitting water vapor that fuels rainfall. However, deforestation is occurring due to agricultural expansion, livestock ranching, logging, and urban growth. While these activities provide food and materials, they can damage ecosystems if not sustainable. The document encourages using natural pesticides and fertilizers, crop rotation, efficient irrigation, recycling, and choosing sustainable wood and paper products to help reduce deforestation.

- 2. Ourforests OUR FORESTS All overthe planet, humans have some sort of relationship to forests. We love to get away from our everyday routines and go to spend some quiet time enjoying nature. Some forests are deliberately planted and maintained so that the wood can be harvested to make wood products, such as building materials and furniture, as well as paper and cardboard. https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo /1307243 http://jambonairobi.co.ke/wp- content/uploads/2011/01/Forest-trail- at-Nairobi-Arboretum.jpg https://c2.staticflickr.com/4/3517 /3460181290_f9a9ed8601_z.jpghttp://s0.geograph.org.uk/photos/ 05/90/059007_7726b6ab.jpg https://get.pxhere.com/photo/tree- nature-forest-wilderness-trail-animal- wildlife-wild-deer-zoo-jungle-park- squirrel-fauna-animals-wallpaper- woodland-habitat-ecosystem-natural- environment-636102.jpg
- 3. Ourforests TREES AND THEWATER CYCLE • The planet’s forests provide us with many benefits. They help mitigate climate change by consuming the carbon dioxide we put into the air, while breathing out oxygen. • Tropical rainforests, like those in the Amazon, emit enough water vapor to create rain for the region. This is a valuable step in the water cycle. • The great Smoky Mountains look “smoky” because of rising water vapor from the forests.

- 5. IS THIS SUSTAINABLE? Traditionalagriculture techniques have some advantages but can also be damaging to ecosystems. Commercial pesticides save crops from being ruined by pests, but the poisons seep into groundwater and runoff into streams. There are some natural and harmless alternatives to garden pesticides. https://www.peta.org/living/humane- home/natural-harmless-alternatives-garden-pesticides/ Commercial fertilizers help plants grow bigger, but the chemicals wash off and seep into groundwater and runoff into streams. Look at natural fertilizers: http://www.stream-smart.com/making-bear-creek- better/at-home/alternatives-to-fertilizers-pesticides- herbicides/ Monoculture, growing just one crop in an area depletes the soil of vital nutrients. Diversifying the crops helps keep pests down and uses less fertilizer: https://blogs.umass.edu/natsci397a- eross/monocultures-in-america-a-system-that-needs- more-diversity/ Traditional irrigation usually involves spraying water over the crops.
