We can identify strong interdependent relationship between the climate and the tropical rain forests
Rain forests affect the global climatic conditions by acting as an air filter.
All living creatures need oxygen. We inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide
Forests are the lungs of the earth. Same as human lungs work, they inhale carbon dioxide and exhale clean oxygen. Without trees and forests, our earth would be running out of oxygen. Another major function of the forest, directly connected to its function as the Earth’s lungs is to keep the planet cool. It helps stop global warming, also known as greenhouse effect.
The benefits of forests go far beyond their boundaries. We know that different type of forests have the highest levels of biodiversity in the world. Saving tropical forests from destruction is vital to preserving biodiversity
Forests are important for exchange of water vapour among trees.
root systems of trees hold soils in place, preventing erosion. And forest litter from leaves, twigs and bark, decays into rich humus that nourishes plants and sub-soil life, binds soil particles, and acts as a natural sponge to store water.
Trees also hold agricultural terraces in place on steep slopes, act as wind breakers for crops and maintain sand dunes.
large number of species of birds spend at least part of their lives in forests. Birds are essential to organic pest control.
Forests serve us shade, food, medicine, various kind of materials without delay. we have not satisfied about what she served. we started deforestation to full fill our unlimited wants without considering consequence.
The large-scale exploitation of forest resources must have started as a result of industrial revolution in Europe in the 18 the – 19 the centuries.
Logging, agriculture-shifted cultivators, agriculture-cash crops, firewood, large dams, industrial developments, tourism are the key immediate causes of Deforestation.
The past half century the earth's vast green mantle of forests has been reduced to tattered remnants. As the world's population has grown from 2.3 billion in 1950 to 6.7 billion today, some 3 billion hectares (ha) of the world's original forest cover - nearly half - has been lost. The destruction continues: in each of the last dozen years, about 14.6 million hectares of forest has been destroyed.
According to the FAO Global Forest Resources Assessment 2005, the net loss in forest area at the global level during the 1990s was an estimated 94 million ha - an area larger than Venezuela and equivalent to 2.4 per cent of the world's total forests. This was a combination of an annual loss of 12.5 million ha of natural forests and an annual gain of 3.1 million ha in the form of forest plantations.
Destroying the forest is the same as destroying our own life-support system. Consider the earth as a living organism, and the forest as its lungs. If the lungs have been destroyed, all cells inside the organism wouldn’t be able to get clean oxygen and eventually died. In this case, we – all living creatures on earth – are the cells.
So it is obvious that we need forest to continue our lives, since destruction of the worlds forests amounts to death of the world we currently know. Let's do what we can to protect our trees and forests.
Deforestation is an expression of the injustice role of human beans to their mother earth.
All signs indicate that we do not have enough forests on the globe to fulfill all the current and future demands (in a broad sense) on global forests. There may not be a physical shortage of forests, but the different kinds of demands will be difficult to meet simultaneously.
Commercial forestry is a key contributor to the economy and is critical to the livelihoods of the world either directly or indirectly. Production forests are also valuable for the ecosystems they support and the “ecosystem services” they provide, including carbon sequestration, soil conservation and water quality.
An expanding and healthy commercial forestry sector is critical to slowing the pace of climate change, and providing products that can replace more energy intensive products (concrete and steel) in the building industry as well as providing a carbon neutral source of energy. For these reasons we need to ensure that forest owners are given strong incentives to plant and expand forests and that there is a viable market for the wood produced from these forests.
