Deforestation

Deforestation is one of the biggest problems when thinking about how we are killing animals environments and it needs to be stopped. Each day millions of trees are destroyed and habitats are lost. According to the WWF they say that over 48 football fields worth of trees are lost to deforestation every minute. Thats easily over ten miles of forests gone every single minute. When we are cutting down these trees we are increasing the amount of greenhouse gases, were ruining water cycles, and ruining the animals environment. This is causing some of the affected animals to start to come into towns and places that humans live. Unfortunately since there isn't too much we can do, we do the best with what we can, many organizations are creating different ways to save these areas and having protected areas in the forests. One way we can help is to spread awareness to the people around us about this issue and maybe we can bring it more to light and how harmful it is for us and the animals environments. If we don't stop it soon thousands of animals and possibly their species may disappear within the near future.

One of the hardest classes I'm taking this semester is environmental biology. While sitting in class we are learning about the forests and many different aspects to wildlife. One thing I'm noticing is that we rarely speak about the dangers to losing the plants and animals we currently have. We don't talk about preservation of the wildlife and what we can do to help our environment for the better. I think in a class like this it should help us to learn about things like deforestation, climate change and many other things such as poaching. We don't learn much about how to help, change, or stop any of those things,  I think that is very important and we should be learning about it. So for one of my next blog posts I'm going to talk about ways to prevent a few of these things.
