Hi,
http://www.forest.nsw.gov.au
Go to the above link.
well u must hve heard abt corbet national park in uttaranchal.
Uttaranchal tourism is encouraging wild life tourism. Please check for more details on net.
cheers.
stop cutting down the trees,one acre of hemp can produce as much pulp as 4 acres of forest.all this in just one season.2 harvests in some states.It takes 100s of years to grow trees.soon there will be no more forests,all the damn logging companys suck, all they want is the $$ they dont care about the inviroment.
hemp can save the world.
Can you be more specific in your question? There is a plethora of details when generally discussing this issue.
Did you know that one acre of woodland produces enough oxygen to keep 13 people alive for a day? (Have to research how much of the Earth's surface is wooded)
Or how 'bout the 12 million barrels of oil used every YEAR to produce 100 billion plastic grocery bags, which we use once or twice and then toss in the landfill, where they take centuries to decompose? Remember to tell the bagger at your grocery store that you want paper bags, not plastic. The trees we take to make paper bags will regrow several times before the plastic bag disintegrates or the oil used to make it replenishes. And if we're not using the oil to make plastic bags that last nearly forever, the oil companies can use it to make gasoline and the price can go down. 12 million barrels of oil makes 9,828,000,000 GALLONS OF GAS!
that is a very vague question what kind of details
i will give you something
THE BIGGEST RESOURCE ,WITH THE BIGGEST FINANCIAL GAINS THAT BENEFITS BOTH NATURE AND THE RESIDENT PEOPLE is nature itself and the concept of ECO TOURISM,
keeping nature intact and protecting it ,
people will say wood ,and there is medecines ,but nothing will beat the above ,trees sold for wood give a single return and the next time maybe 20 years down the line
eco tourism is an on going income and it is a growing industry,
But time is running out ,and if we are not quick so will Nature
first exstinction ,then deforestation
of the earth's estimated 10 million species, 300,000 have vanished in the past 50 years. each years, 3,000 to 30,000 species become extinct.
a lot of human activity is speeding that up since we tend to overpower all the other species in one way or another.
some reasons why animals are being wiped out ,in the forrests are:
the hunting of exotic species for the consumer market
only about 10% of the animals caught survive
the hunting of animals for food by settlers
and the Animals will continue to be trapped ,as long as people keep buying the exotic animals
And now many animals are becoming sick because of changes in temperature ,
vital links in the food chains are disapearing affecting other species further along in the chain
90% of the feral (wild) bee population in the United States has died ouT,mainly because of a parasitic mite that is now spreading into the wild bee populations
In the Netherlands bee diversity is down 80 percent in the sites researched,
"bee species are declining or have become extinct in Britain."
numbers of wildflowers that depend on pollination have dropped by 70 percent.
If bees continue to die off so would the crops they support and with that would ensue major economic disruption and possibly famine.
Bees are not the only polinators but if these things are happening to bees we can bet on it that other insects are also in trouble ,on top of this many people are spraying for mosquitos ,with drastic effects .
so much follows the insects in the food chains ,that we can expect a lot of very bad changes in the environment .
only time will tell what is in store for us ,and that time is running now .
everything is happening so fast it is not possible to monitor events any more
but the biggest killer of wild life is the loss of Habitat
.forrest fires ,that have started because of slash and burning of forrest ,to clear the land for farming, had gotten out of control
expanding populations and expanding farming ,that has to keep pace with the expanding populations are very strong forces that encroach upon the rainforest's
clearing them for farming and settlement areas .
that and the giant networks of roads that have exchanged forests for asphalt all over the planet
------------------------------...
CAN DEFORESTATION BE STOPPED
Almost impossible
we must look for ways to improve economic situations on the edges of Nature .
the only way to preserve the forrest is to devellop eco tourism under strict control that has limited acces ,and use the local people in the concept as guides ,hotel staff and get them to start home industries of artifacts .
eco tourism is the only concept that profits by a healthy back ground with out harming it
------------------------------...
trees are coming down all the time ,
in My town trucks loaded with huge logs of exotic timber leave the mountains with permits bought from corrupt oficials almost nightly
we can only guess at the exact amount but from my house we can see many bare patches on the mountains and the river is constantly muddy in the last 3 years ,because topsoils, without the protection of the forrests , is washed into the rivers ,
this is just one place and this is happening all over Mexico ,the Market for the wood being the USA.
the Indians or local people would cut everything down and burn the forrest to replace it with harmfull short term farming killing the soil in no time
In Mexico is a famous jungle that the Media has been trying to save for years
the Naturists ,and the government ,keep watch .laws are made for protection the wild and to forbid logging.
TV put out a series of documentaries
there are campaigns in the News papers
and all of this has not made the slightest difference
Rainforest's always are in third world countries and always in third world countries corruption and the need for money s highest
the jungle gets smaller by the day
more and more farmers move in .and burn the trees
it is an impossible situation
as long as there is poverty and an increasing birth rate in these regions the destruction will continue
REFORRESTATION
we must reforrest and at the same time reduce our carbon emissions.
most governments are aware of these and many first world countries now include programs to reduce their carbon emissions.
the world bank pays large subsidies for farmers to plant trees especially a tree called Paulownia elongate carolinia,because it is one of the better ones that capture carbon.
IN THE PAST
the sahara used to be forrests
arabia ,irak ,iran used to be fertile lands in biblical times
Ghengas Kahn burned all the forrests here and filled the well with water and so turning vast lands into dessert.
the Spanish Armada deforested Spain
.the Phoenician fleet deforested Lebanon
Madagascar a botanic paradise is now destroyed
the exotic animals sold or killed ,the forest slash and burned for agriculture ,the coastal water poluted by topsoils washed fronm the denuded moutains by the rains.
many many countries in Africa (because of poverty and war as well as greedy farming )
Borneo because of the expensive timber
india ,China ,Mexico ,South Americas Amazonia,
Europe because of civilization,USA,Japan because of overpopulation,
NOTE
1000 trees that are replanted do not come anywhere near as producing the same effect or fullfilling the same function ,as far as carbon absorbtion ,production of humidity,climatic effects as the absorbtion or release of heat ,as ONE SINGLE FULLY GROWN TREE.
people keep saying we are good we cut down a thousand trees and replanted 20 thousand more
This means nothing in terms of environmental effects.
it takes at least 10 to 20 years before one of these replanted trees makes the same impact as the ones that are removed
In the state of Maine away from the coast is doing well with forest harvesting and wildlife reintroduction[turkeys are thriving as well as moose]/On the coast river development is heating the rivers and access is at an all time low.So environment 1 humans0/Ken
