But consumers aren't helping their fellow countryman earn his own living by buying these imported items. Consumers are giving their hard-earned money to Walmart to go back to China to buy more items. (Smith & Young, 2004). Walmart has created new jobs for people when they open new stores, but they are underpaid jobs. Many of the positions are part-time, therefore, they are positions without benefits.
For example in areas of Nepal, they cut down the vegetation to provide wood for heating and construction, the fertile topsoil is eroded by rain because it is now without the protection offered by natural vegetation. The hillside fields then become unproductive, incapable of supporting the people who have settled there. Because they didn’t carefully develop the vast forest area, they lost the land now. In the World, some countries used tropical zones to provide employment and earn money from exports. Because overexploitation of tropical forests affect the global climate.
Deforestation is when trees and other vegetation is being removed converting the forest to another land use, this exposed the soil and often leads to erosion and loss of soil fertility. The valuable nutrients of the soil are being washed away by erosion. To prevent this, we need to stop cutting down trees to create so many buildings, business owners should try to find established dwellings to put their business on. Deforestation also poses a threat to the food chain. These three major causes of soil erosion can be prevented and it will benefit everyone as a whole by creating a sustainable society for our environment.
From penguins to iguanas, to sea lions, there are quite a mix of animals living there. One can wonder how such a variety are able to live together. However, perhaps the native creatures of these islands that I found most fascinating are the numerous birds. Despite its warm location, it still offers pleasant climate and thriving environment that is appealing to birds. Specifically this is found attractive to Galapagos penguins and flamingos.
In Arizona, the fence has contributed to flooding on both sides of the border, changed the roaming patterns of the area’s native jaguars and destroyed the desert habitats of several bird species, including an endangered quail, according to environmentalists. The building of patrol roads has also decreased the Sonoran pronghorn’s habitat, as the antelope like animal rarely crosses roads, according to a 2006 report from Defenders of Wildlife. The pronghorn’s limited jumping ability also does not allow it to leap over barriers. Altogether, Brian Nowicki, a Center for Biological Diversity conservation biologist says, “30 endangered, threatened, or candidate species live along the U.S.-Mexican border in Arizona and Sonora, 15 in the area where the wall would be built. Moreover, building a wall, along with the roads and support facilities it necessitates, would not only plow under saguaros and other fragile desert plants but scare Sonoran pronghorn and other wildlife from important sources of food and water” (Cohn
Deforestation results from the removal of trees without sufficient reforestation (the replacement of trees). As a whole, deforestation reduces biodiversity, which is the variation of life forms, and negatively impacts the climate and geography not only in the United States, but also around the world. Some of the problems that need to be acknowledged range from forest fires to the lack of national policies
Therefore, a big problem we have now is deforestation of the Amazon. People harm this environment and this affects our climate. People illegally cut down trees in the Amazon, harming the economy. The influence of the Amazon is so great that there is even a preservation law to prevent deforestation in Brazil (according to WWF International). As you can see, people are worried about our Amazon Rainforest and are trying to preserve it as best they can to further help our
But the hatcheries around Africa are too important to close down. So if the yield of the hatchery continues to decrease every year sooner or later the hatchery will have a change in management. Not only is the fish hatcheries are being affected by poaching the sale of ivory in Africa has also been affected. . “In Kenya, uncarved ivory was worth $2.50 a pound in 1969, $34 a pound in 1978, and
From an environmental perspective the Amazon is negatively affected from the burning of the trees which is polluting the biggest rainforest in the world with Carbon dioxide (Co2). Also, a lot of nutrients are being lost from deforestation and high quality soil is being wasted. Desertification is slowly happening in the Amazon and other rainforests. If deforestation continues the rainforests will start to lose bodies of water, as well as vegetation and wildlife. There are many problems that the rainforest biome encounters.
The great diversity of the tropical rainforest provides great services to the earth’s human population. One would hope that the tropical rainforest would be in no immediate danger since it is one of the most diverse biomes on earth. However, there are many factors that contribute to the depletion and deforestation of the earth’s biome known as the tropical rainforest. The depletion of tropical rainforests harms a variety of species and impairs the services it provides to the earth. Tropical rainforests make up six percent of the earth’s surface (Michael).
