Is the World in Grave Danger?
• Increase in Global warming and Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions
• Tropical rainforests are disappearing causing alterations to the
climate
• Each day at least 80,000 acres (32,300) hectares of these forests
disappear from the earth
• Ozone depletion
• Forest fires (release about 370 million tons of greenhouse gases into
the atmosphere every year)
• Deforestation rates in the Amazon Rainforests have not slowed
Economic Implications
• Industries are over-using and over-cutting trees for prosperity and
mostly for profit
• Rapid globalization around the world is a major concern
• Increase in Supply & Demand
• Since the population around the world is constantly growing on a
daily basis, many corporations are clearing forests to build
infrastructures
• Poverty stricken countries give their natural resources away to earn
foreign currency to pay off loans
• Biofuels are produced from renewable resources such as: plants
and organic waste and can be used as an alternative to fossil fuels
• Palm oil plantations are posed as a major threat
• Destroying habitats of orangutans and other wildlife
• Orangutans spend about 80-90% of their time in the trees
• Demand for biofuels is on the rise
Deforestation in Brazil
Brazil looses the largest area of forest cover annually
Increase in Tropical Deforestation Around the World
Controversial Topic: Construction of the Red Hill Creek Expressway Project-
Hamilton, Ontario
Major Deforestation in Brazil
~~~ If everybody does not stay ignorant and take little steps or
solutions to prevent deforestation from occurring in the future, then
overall we all will have a better world to live in. ~~~
• Reduce wasteful land use practices
• Improve already developed lands
• Businesses and corporations have to be more aware of the effects
that deforestation causes and they have to take little initiatives to
prevent it from increasing
• Governments have to make citizens aware of the issue
• Each person can plant trees once in a while to maintain the
ecosystem
• Groups can be formed to decrease deforestation
• The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and Global Forest Watch Canada
(GFWC) are groups that have already been formed to prevent
deforestation
