How is wood collected & modified?
Wood comes from rainforests. Loggers collect by using chainsaws or large
machine to cut down trees. After they finish collecting wood, they take away the
branches from the trees. Some of the loggers are interested in all types of wood.
Some of the people use it to build houses.
Lumber is wood from trees that have been
cut down to be use for building things and
making things. Everyday we use something
that has come from trees like paper, pencil,
and some the chiars that we sit on it is also
made from trees. Wood is also used as fuel
to cook.
We used it to make house and we make a home for animals. We used it to make paper pencil
and table.

How could this resource be managed better?
What is the impact of this industry?
The loggers cut a lot of trees can damage the more trees. When the loggers use
large equipment to cut down special trees it can damage more trees. When all
the trees dies it just one trees that get cut down.
When the loggers use clear cutting can damage the whole rainforests and there
will never have more food and trees in the world and we will have no oxygen
from the trees. When the whole rainforests get damage the animals will get no
home and no food to eat and no place to stay.
If the loggers cut down many trees it will have flood then the people will get
in the flood. If cutting to many trees will cause globle warming.
Do you know that trees breath in corbon dioxicle, which is a gas causes global
warming?
There is a different kind of logging it will be called Strip logging. This
type of logging tries to copy the natural way a forest grows.
