People excrete wastes and litter that flow into water systems, and animal habitats, this is slowly polluting water and killing wildlife. And the more the population grows the more wasted were going to produce and cause pollution and damage to the environment. More housing and buildings being built means that were building over were habitats live, the loss of these forests leads to extinction of plants and animals. Also more people means that more goods (like clothes, TVs etc) are wanted, more jobs are needed so more factories are being built witch is affecting out air pollution, which eventually is destroying out atmosphere. Also more food is required so more intensive farming methods are used.
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.
2. Is the ending optimistic or pessimistic? Explain your answer. The ending was pessimisitc because the baby had died. The fact that the baby died, with the fact that Paul's farming land was ripped up, and everything involved in his farming life was ruined, made the ending pessimistic.
This issue has been a larger struggle due to the harsh climate. There has been a decrease in rainfall of about 29-49% which would mean that they land is badly managed due to the lack of water. The average temperature of the region has increased meaning that
Scarcity is a major problem in the Central African Republic. Many of their resources are inadequate for the majority of the population. One of the worst scarcity issues in the Central African Republic is of the basic needs. Clean water is also very scarce. Nutritious food is also difficult to get in the Central African Republic.
The disease impacted the peasants more than any other class. This also caused a shortage of workers to work the land and harvest crops so that they could be ready for sale. These workers were the ones who lived in poor conditions where the disease was abundant in turn caused wages to go up and demand for workers to go up as well. The land
Corruption, school-dropouts, and alcoholism are to blame for most of the poor. The land the Native-Americans live on is hard to harvest; therefore farming for food and vegetables can be hard. Property rights on the reservation tend to be non-existent, and weaken prosperity for this culture. Most of lands that Native-Americans live are communally, no one is able to get a clear title to his or her land, making is hard to borrow money or establish credit for improvements or investments they will benefit families. This is called tragedy of the commons, when everyone owns the land no one really owns the land which results in rundown housing due to lack of investments on the property or housing.
The wind can become arid and dry and cause desert like conditions in non-desert areas, thus expanding the size of a desert. As temperatures continue to rise with global warming, it is causing glaciers and ice caps to melt in the northern areas. The Earth consists of seven major belts. Three of the belts experience high amounts of rainfall and four of the belts experience low amounts of rainfall. Dry hot deserts lie in a subtropical region.
"More than 60 percent of the original African rain forest is gone." (Pulsipher) As well as depleting their rain forest Africans are cutting down their dry forests as well to make way for farmland and fuel wood and other settlements. Not only are they clearing their lands but they are grossly depleting the fish populations off of their coasts. THe wildlife which provides the protein, medications for the prevention of diseases, and revenue from tourism are becoming severely threatened by habitat loss. Desertification is spreading and water supplies are decreasing at an a rate faster than nature can replace it.
For instance, people deforest grown trees without planting young trees. Deforestation means the felling and clearing of forest cover or tree plantations in order to accommodate agricultural, industrial or urban use. It involves permanent end of forest cover to make that land available for residential, commercial or industrial purpose. Due to massive trees clearance, various species of animals are lost. They lose their habitat and forced to move to new location; besides, many cannot survive the deforestation that destroys their homes.
