Deforestation: The Wildebeest Migration Of The Mau Forest

1.6 billion people rely on benefits forests offer, including food, fresh water, clothing, traditional medicine and shelter. When the forest that they rely on vanishes it causes major problems. One way deforestation affects the indigenous people is by taking away the food for the people. The tribes hunt smaller animals like monkeys and deer. Then when the animals die, the tribes cannot create a stable food supply for their families. According to John D. Castello of New York State University with degrees in Environmental and Forest Biology says "Available evidence suggests deforestation has very strong effects on freshwater ecosystems." This occurs because trees are a large part of the water cycle. When it rains the trees suck up the water and absorbs it to create chlorophyll b then realises it as water vapor. When the trees are taken out, it causes mass floodings. These floods are devastating to the native populations. When it floods, it creates a lot of water in the rivers that the people fish in with nets, and because the water its two high it makes their fishing style ineffective, making the families go without food. Even if the indigenous people are farmer It still affects them. It affects them because the trees hold down the nutritious soil from washing away, but when the trees disappear it allows the valuable soil to disappear, making the soil unfarmable. Deforestation also affects the people's water supply.

Countries will face many problems due to climate change and the capacity of a government to provide health care will be reduced dramatically. What water scarcity does not necessarily mean the availability of water, with the planet being 70 percent water, but the quality of water. Presently, poor countries are already being affected by water scarcity. It is reported that currently 1.2 billion people do not have access to safe drinking water and this figure will be 2.7 to 3.5 billion people by 2025 if effective steps are not taken to mitigate the water scarcity problem. Climate change causes different factors which may headway for political and social conflicts, so water scarcity will have major impacts on populations’ health.

The book includes a clear outline of the history of conservation in Africa, coupled with stories of Africans involved in conservation management. The authors explain the issues around African conservation as well as including their own input and potential solutions. One of the main points presented is that the myth that Africans and wildlife being incompatible must be broken. It is evident that Africans are just as passionate about their wildlife like the rest of the world and the authors try to bring this across to the rest of the world. However, conservationists must make sure that rural people are acknowledged and that they engage in conservation efforts to make sure projects are successful. Due to the age of the book, several issues are more prominent than others, such as habitat loss and overpopulation, and that the solutions to these issues will have changed with the development of technology. Public awareness and the education of issues are now more achievable and effective due to the advancement in communication in the form of social media and the fact many Africans own a mobile phones. The involvement of local communities will always be important in conservation and most of the points brought across in the book about the past will remain relevant. An update or a companion book including discussions of new issues threats

A new comprehensive study conducted by Dr Arjen Hoestra of the Netherlands’ University of Twente, demonstrates that water scarcity around the world is a getting worst than ever. Water shortage is becoming a global issue that may result in regional conflicts, economic losses and environmental risks.

If there is lack of rainfall in certain places not many plants or trees will get watered causing them to wilt. It is common sense that humans need trees and plants because they provide the oxygen and food needed to survive. It is simple, it there is no water, food, or oxygen eventually there will be no humans. It’s a chain reaction; if there is no humans or water then there is no animals. Many animals will go extinct either because they do not have any water to drink or they do not have humans that can care for them. Sooner or later California will just be a desert that can have no life. Water is food for humans and animals and it needs to stop being played with and wasted by people. In the short essay “Tortillas” from Patterns For College Writing, share a story that says “My earliest memory of tortillas is my Mama telling me not to play with them. I had bitten eyeholes in one and was wearing it as a mask at the dinner table” (Burciaga 390). This is a good example of a kid playing with his food and not realizing there are many people that would love to eat at least one tortilla. If people keep playing with water, then they are going to be left with

People have asked why do you have a drauth . we today about how this drought happened and how we can stop this drift and stop wasting water. There are lots of ways how to stop wasting water. and i bet you guys have asked yourselves why do we have a drought . well i will tell you. the drought can affect us animals and plants, farmers, and food and lots more.

Less water means farming and other crops that need water to grow have lower yield. Water is needed to ensure food security, to feed livestock, and to conserve the biodiversity and environment.

Kenya has a landscape predominant with mountains, rivers, and a plethora of vegetation that is attributable to its location near the equator. The ecosystem presented in our film is abundant with native trees, waters, tadpoles, bushes, and grasslands. Growing population and imperialism has led to the dissipation of river water levels, a decrease in tree and frog populations, which has had a domino effect on the food chain.

Wildfires are commonly caused by human activities especially during the dry season. Deforestation is also common as local use the wood for fuel and for building. Deforestation is also caused by the growing population and the increasing need for new infrastructure such as houses.The land depletion has led erosion to be common as well. Land doesn’t have roots to hold on causing soil to displace, taking with it necessary nutrients. This has caused patches of infertile land across the dry deciduous forest of Madagascar. The follwowing picture was taken at the Anjajavy Dry Forest. Because of its proximity to villages and the frequent use of slash and burn agriculture, a large portion of its surroundings have been affected by desertification and

Many people know that water is essential for human-being and it is not only valuable for health and life, but water is also important for industry and agriculture. Furthermore, use of water has a spiritual, cultural and recreational dimension. However, water resources are not infinite. Wide and inefficient use of water resources can lead to irreversible consequences, such as water shortage. This essay will firstly discuss the problem of water shortage on examples of developed and developing countries and include the diversification of the same issue in the different parts of the world. It will also identify causes and effects of this environmental problem on society and other spheres of life. Moreover, in this essay I am going to propose

Water scarcity is the lack of sufficient available water resources to meet the demands of water usage within a region. It already affects every continent and around 2.8 billion people around the world at least one month out of every year. More than 1.2 billion people lack access to clean drinking water. Water scarcity involves water stress, water shortage or deficits, and water crisis. While the concept of water stress is relatively new, it is the difficulty of obtaining sources of fresh water for use during a period of time,result in further depletion and deterioration of available water resources. Water shortages may be caused by climate change, such as altered weather patterns including droughts or

Water is probably the most important resource we as people have. Humans can survive without food for several weeks, but without water we would die in less than a week. On a slightly less dramatic note, millions of liters of water are needed every day worldwide for washing, irrigating crops, and cooling industrial processes, not to mention leisure industries such as swimming pools and water-sports centers. Despite our dependence on water, we use it as a dumping ground for all sorts of waste, and do very little to protect the water supplies we have.

As the population grows, cities are constructed along rivers and other waterways, and the sources are modified to meet urban needs rather than ecological. More and more food needs to be grown to nourish people. Now, land is degrading and sea levels are rising, making growing impossible in many former farming areas. Because of this, "... 800 million people are chronically malnourished, and 2 billion lack food security" (Dahl, 603). Because agriculture for the masses depends heavily on irrigation, it puts additional strain on the globe's water tables (Dahl, 602). Not to mention that current water sources are being polluted by sewer discharge and industrial waste. Deforestation is another issue. Forests and other natural vegetation help protect against flooding and soil erosion. In the 1990s, 563,709 square miles of land were cleared of forests (Dahl, 602). Without these forests, global warming has been accelerated as more carbon is released into the atmosphere, rather than being consumed as fuel by plants and released as oxygen. For example, in India and Sri Lanka, a tsunami, unhindered by the mangroves that used to grow there, destroyed

Deforestation not only harms animals but effects the ecosystems with which they live in. It turns animal’s homes and ecosystems into agricultural land for farmers and can be used for urban development. It can also be used for food through the extraction of palm oil. It is a global problem that has been affecting tropical rainforests for years, and it has not yet been stopped. Deforestation can lead to loss of biodiversity, and even can cause animals to go extinct. Studies have shown that clear cutting forests causes loss of oxygen that can harm both animals and humans, due to the amount of carbon that is emitted into the air when trees are cut down, both legally and illegally.

Our needs for plants and trees are an essential part of living because they produce our planets oxygen in our air as well as absorbing the Carbon Dioxide in the atmosphere. With the increasing need for deforestation happening there is no place for the Carbon Dioxide to go. This compound stays in our air and allows for more Greenhouse gases to be trapped and stay on our planet’s atmosphere. Deforestation has also lead to millions of homeless wildlife and has led to many species being extinct or close to extinction. Such examples include the Polar Bear’s habitat disappearing and melting because of rising sea levels due to methane and Carbon Dioxide levels heating up the
