SENAC 2025 Environmental Degradation Presentation.pptx
- 1. ENVIRONMENTAL DEFORESTATION UNDERSTANDING CAUSES, IMPACTS,AND SOLUTIONS 16 SETEMBER, 2025 ANDREZA SOARES / MARCÍLIO MONTEIRO
- 2. ENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATION WHATIS Large-scale loss oftrees and forest cover. It harms ecosystems and the climate and can even raise the risk of diseases moving from wildlife to people. It affects climate, water cycles, biodiversity, and forest communities. Mostly driven by human activities — farming & grazing, logging, mining & drilling, urban growth and sometimes by wildfires/overgrazing.
- 3. OFENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATION TYPES Agricultural expansion Clearing land for farmingand grazing Urban growth Building cities, roads, and houses Logging Cutting trees for wood and paper Mining and drilling Removing forests for minerals and oil Wildfires & overgrazing Natural or human-made destruction of forests
- 4. MAJORCAUSES 🌱 AGRICULTURAL EXPANSION CLEARINGFORESTS FOR CROPS AND CATTLE 🌲 LOGGING CUTTING TREES FOR TIMBER AND PAPER ⛏ MINING AND DRILLING EXTRACTING MINERALS, OIL, AND GAS 🏙 URBAN GROWTH BUILDING CITIES, ROADS, AND HOUSES 🔥 WILDFIRES & OVERGRAZING NATURAL FIRES AND EXCESSIVE LAND USE
- 5. IMPACTON ECOSYSTEMS 🌳 Habitat lossand species extinction Animals and plants lose their homes. 🔗 Disrupted food chains When forests disappear, ecosystems collapse. 💧 Water cycle changes Less rain, more droughts and floods. 🌍 Climate change More CO₂ in the air, higher global warming. 🌱 Soil infertility Erosion and poor land for farming.
- 6. HUMANLIFE IMPACTON 😷 More diseases Greaterrisk of new viruses spreading from wildlife to humans. 💧 Water shortages Forests regulate rainfall; without them, droughts increase. 🥕 Reduced food security Less fertile soil and lower crop yields. 🌪 Natural disasters More floods, droughts, and extreme weather. What hurts the Earth, hurts us too.
- 7. GLOBALEXAMPLES 🌍 Amazon Rainforest Largesttropical forest, heavy deforestation. 🌍 Congo Basin Second largest rainforest, facing logging and farming pressure. 🌍 Southeast Asia Deforestation for palm oil plantations. 🌍 Central America Clearing forests for cattle and crops. It’s happening everywhere—even here.
- 8. EFFORTS& SOLUTIONS CURRENT 📜 FOREST PROTECTIONLAWS AND GLOBAL AGREEMENTS PROTECTING TREES THROUGH RULES AND COOPERATION. 🌱 REFORESTATION AND RESTORATION PROJECTS PLANTING NEW TREES AND RESTORING FORESTS. SUSTAINABLE FARMING AND ECO-FRIENDLY PRACTICES PRODUCING FOOD WITHOUT DESTROYING FORESTS. ⚡ SUPPORT RENEWABLE ENERGY REDUCING PRESSURE ON FORESTS FOR FUEL. Hope grows where action is taken.
- 9. WHATCANWEDO? 🛒 Choose sustainableproducts Avoid items that cause forest loss (like unsustainable palm oil). 💡 Support green initiatives Back laws and organizations that protect forests. ♻ Reduce, reuse, recycle Use less paper, recycle wood products. 📚 Raise awareness Teach others about the importance of forests. 🌱 Plant trees Join or support reforestation projects. Small steps, big impact.
