Why is Deforestation so bad? Pros and Cons?

Question

I need to know why deforestation is so bad for the planet! I have done much research but still can't find what I need..Can any of you lovely people help me?

Answer 1

OK 3 CONS - NO PROS AT ALL

1) It increases the speed of erosion in deforested areas, as there are no tree roots to hold the soil together

2) Trees are one of the biggest providers of oxygen to the atmosphere, and remove greenhouse gasses

3) Hundreds of tree living species are being wiped out.

Pros: More living space Get wood to build homes and make goods that we use. Good for the economy. Gives people jobs. Cons: The Amazon rainforest gives the planet the majority of the oxygen that we breathe. Sounds like a bad idea to get rid of it now doesn't it? There are many animals that will lose there natural habitat and become extinct. Some tribes live in those rainforests.

Answer 6

lets see there is nothing to slow down a tornado and nothing to clean the air and no clue what the medison was cause never discovered it you never went there to see what your missing so you think you wont miss it and it dont effect you you killed the people there to make a profit and now you milked the land for all its got which is little and now you have to strip more go take a plane ride if you cant see what destruction looks like verses i biological buffer that promotes biodiversity and cleans the air cuts down on noise and provides and oasis an almost magical place but you live in the city were every thing is covered in blacktop and cement and you didnt even know there was such a thing a forest you only saw something about it in a book you thought it was just a fairy tale but your current laws in the local comunity make you rip down the forest so you can have more places that dont recycle and when its a ghost town there is nothing left but a monster landfill no i still dont see any difference i keep getting the info from the people who are destroying it

Answer 8

my notes on deforestation and some related links

TREES NOT ONLY PRODUCE OXIGEN or ABSORB CARBON
the world bank pays large subsidies for farmers to plant trees especially a tree called Pawlomia because it is one of the better ones that capture carbon.

plants take in carbon dioxide period they dont take in oxigen at night.

they require carbon dioxide and release oxigen.

in the autemn there is an excess of carbon released because of the dead organic material ,the seas and waters when cool absorb this,in the spring when the new growth requires carbo the warmer waters release it ,so in con junction with the seas and rivers the bio mass on this planet maintains a balanced atmosphere for us to breathe.
now with the mass deforrestation(decrease in bio mass)coupled to the increase in carbon emissions,industrial chimneys,aerosol cans,motor cars,burning of plastics and tires to name but a few ,the carbon production by far exeeds what the bio-mass and the waters can handle,and so effect into global warming and the destruction of the ozone layers,
so to counter act these fatal processes 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 forrests make most of the water that we can drink or use for plant growth(sweet water)
some is condensed from the sea but that reaches only the coastel aereas .
the bulk ,comes from the forests ,and the rivers come from the rainfall which comes from the trees ,
and the trees with precipitation,feed the rivers when it is not raining and keep them running all year round.

If we kill all the trees,we kill the rivers .we kill the rain. we kill us.
the trees also absorb the heat in the day and heat up the place in the night ,so they keep the temperature confertable to live in.

these are some of the reasons why trees are important.

so plant a tree every week,and help us save the world

DESERTIFICATION
desertification is also a result of bad agricultural methods and deforrestation
in the dessert the nights are freezing cold and during the days you burn up

the sahara is growing by 7 kilometres every day.
two major desserts in northern china are growing together making one giant dessert and,causing dust storms so making thousands of people refugeese

the trees evaporate a mist which ,which protects us from the strong rays of the sun .

in the days of the dinasaurs this planet was under an aquiferus manta ,a mist that covered the entire earth ,and there were no desserts .

Count how many there are today,and all of them are as a result of mans actions.

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
Modern agriculture today is doing the same as ghengas kahn but in much bigger territories.
expanding populations deforrest to make space for settle ments
and expanding agriculture in a race to keep up with the growing demand for food deforrests more than anything else.

Answer 9

why is it bad?

well there is a little con called oxygen! not to mention renewable paper, wood for building houses, retaining the natural beauty of this planet, including the wildlife which use these forest and who wants to look at skyscrapers every where they go anyways?

Pros: lots of reptiles, great sun tans, people wil respect the time they have here because of short lives due to lung collapse from nitrogen, carbon dioxide

Answer 10

1. Forests are the source of our oxygen
2. Forests help protect us from flooding and massive erosion
3. Forests are a valuable resource. Even though they are renewable...renewal is not automatic, we can harvest to the point where the soil is unprotected, washes away and we are unable to grow a new forest on the same location, we have lost our resource.
4. They are the backbone of many ecosystems, protecting them provides homes to many species.
5. Forests provide recreational activities for many

Pros?
Wood to build with,
Many of the worlds forests lie in areas of poverty, of course these people will rather destroy their resource and survive than protect it, it is a source of income to many who desperately need it.
