Question

Deforestation


It means the removal of trees and forests, usually

through cutting or burning. In South America, most

deforestation takes place because of a need for

agricultural land. In countries with poor economies,

such as those in South America, people turn to

agriculture to meet the everyday needs of living.

The causes of deforestation re mainly related to a

competitive global economy, which forces poorer

countries to use their only resources for money.

This happens both locally and nationally. Locally,

people use land for farming to make money, due to

poverty and increasing populations. Nationally,

governments sell logging concessions to cover

debts and develop industries.

The problem is, using their forests is only a

short-term solution, which is causing even worse,

and long-term effects. Trees are made of about

50% carbon, so when trees are burnt, carbon is

released into the atmosphere. Cutting them down

reduces the amount of rain, raising temperatures

and allowing the sun to heat up the land and dry it

out. Also greatly affected are the animals and plants

that live in the rainforests. Tropical rainforests

hold about 50% of earth’s species of animal. When

we destroy their habitat, we kill them too.
