DEFORESTATION - Daniel Benitez, Sergio Suaza. 1104

DEFORESTATION

the felling of trees is a man-made action on nature, in this case exhaustive logging, deforestation devastates the forests of the Amazon, massively causing catastrophes at the level of the animal ecosystem, loss of biodiversity and the quality of soils

or urban use. The most concentrated deforestation occurs in tropical forest. About 30% of Earth's land surface is covered by forests.

Deforestation In Colombia:
Causes: 

Deforestation in Colombia is mainly targeted at primary rainforest which covers more than 80% of Colombia. This has a profound ecological impact in that Colombia is extremely rich in biodiversity, with 10% of the world's species, making it the second most biologically diverse country on Earth.

One of the main causes of deforestation in Colombia is the national Plan Pacifico which is intended to raise revenue to develop the economy. The plan includes exploitation of Colombia's rainforests for the extraction of precious natural resources for exportation

Effects: 

"Deforestation has been responsible for the erosion of riverbanks which have affected the levels of river beds, which has had negative effects on aquatic life and fish stocks as well as on transportation and navigation because of silting. This forest clearing also accounts for great habitat destruction for creatures dwelling in the Columbian forests. For example, the cotton-top tamarin is considered to be critically endangered, and ranks highly on the list of "The World's 25 Most Endangered Primates." Habitat destruction through forest clearing is the main cause of this collapse, and cotton-top tamarins have lost more than three-quarters of their original habitat to deforestation.Local initiatives, like Proyecto Tití for cotton-top tamarins, have been created to raise awareness of such cases."

Personal Opinion Of The Problematics:

To our way of seeing in the matter with the matter of the deforestation it is a problematics of supreme importance since this felling provoked by the hand of the man to obtain agriculture, ranching and mining industry are a Viennese needed but that eventually it is a way of destroying our environment.

Topicality:

At present the great majority of deforestation is given in Latin America, Western Africa and some regions of Asia, the reason or one of the major reasons of these events there are excessive gentle projects given by diverse industries and companies that only seek to be increased,for example in Brazil the deforestation in 2017 increased in 28 %, with more than 5 thousand square kilometres of felled trees, this and many more sound examples of which many persons not estan informed and that they affect any alive being who lives this place.
