Literature Review On The Sundarbans Reserved Forest

1384 Words6 Pages

3. Literature Review
Although the valuation of Sundarbans Reserved Forest is a relatively new concept from a Bangladeshi viewpoint, it would be untrue to state that there have not been works to estimate values of mangrove forests and its services in the past, all around the world. So, before we delve in to analyze and calculate a value for the ecosystem of SRF, a look at these researches and their findings are in order. It is, however, important to note that the results of these researches have not been consistent; in fact in different cases and countries the results have been very dissimilar. Most experts have atoned these differences to disparity in the types of mangrove-related goods, the premises related to the linkage between these type …show more content…

(2015) was looked at to get an idea of the travel cost valuation technique being applied to environmental goods similar to the SRF ecosystem: in Kawsar et al.’s case Lawachara National Park (LNP) in Sylhet, Bangladesh. Kawsar et al. estimated 55,694,173 Taka/year as the economic value of LNP and suggested imposing an entry fee of 25 taka/visit to raise revenue to further the management and infrastructure improvements there, which is the path that this research on TCV of SRF will follow. On the other hand, Uddin states that never in history has the total value of the Bangladeshi part of Sundarbans been economically valued and hence, it always loses out during policy-making in the development front. The paper also provided economic estimates of some of Sundarbans’ provisioning services. Moreover, it spoke about the climate impacts on the two most prominent commercial species of flora, Sunduri and Gewa. He states “The suitable area of Sunduri trees is expected to decrease with 14% by 2050 (32 cm Sea Level Rise) and 45% by 2100 (88 cm Sea Level Rise) compared to the base year 2001, whereas the suitable area of Gewa could decrease up to 7% by 2100. However, the value of 'Sunduri' stocks will reduce by almost 45% by 2100 whereas the value of 'Gewa' stocks will remain fairly constant.” Lastly, he paves the way for a research to estimate the total economic value of SRF that would initiate better policy-making for the

  • What Are The Similarities Between The Dust Bowl And The Grapes Of Wrath

    950 Words  | 4 Pages

    For farming families of the Southern Plains, the plight of the Great Depression was made all the more harrowing by the onset of the Dust Bowl, as readers of The Grapes of Wrath will remember well. But, for environmental historian Donald Worster, the twin calamities of the Depression and the Dust Bowl were no unlucky coincidence. " My argument," Worster declares, "is that there was a in fact a close link between the Dust Bowl and the Depression -- that the same society produced them both, and for similar reasons. Both events revealed fundamental weaknesses in the traditional culture of America, the one in ecological terms, the other in economic.

    Our Interior Forest. Ian Frazier for his inner life compares it to be inside in a forest, since in it, many people often use it as an escape to the current reality that each one, e.g. a forest (spa, fishing, Park, Beach) that departs to the reality of day to day living. When the person escapes to the forest is to explore and internalize what are its purposes and goals to follow. Ian mentions that explore would be a more prominent idea than it is currently. At present our explorations seem to have less historical system since increasingly the experiences that arise are more materialistic than real feelings.

    There are many unexplained mysteries across the globe that scientists may never be able to solve, including that of the unique trees in a forest, often referred to as the "Crooked Forest," in Poland. The Crooked Forest is a group of bent pine trees located near Nowe Czarnowo in Poland, and many feel that it is one of the scariest places in Central Europe. The trees that make up the forest were planted in the 1930s, and 10 years later, they mysteriously bent. What is even more strange is that each of the trees is bent from the base at a 90 degree angle.

    A question that has been asked by many is, how much money are the national parks worth? In the article, "Americans Think National Parks Are Worth Way More than We Spend on Them," Linda J. Bilmes and John Loomis conducted a study to find out how much Americans think parks are worth (Bilmes and Loomis). Their research concluded that Americans would put a value of ninety­two billion dollars on national parks, monuments, seashores, and recreation areas yearly (Bilmes and Loomis). With only receiving three billion dollars annually, "that amount is inadequate to maintain and invest in asset valued at over ninety billion dollars (Bilmes and Loomis)."

Later, in 1918, the Save-the-Redwoods League was established and took charge of the redwood conservation movement in Northern California.

  • The Causes Of Deforestation In The Brazilian Amazon

    933 Words  | 4 Pages

    The Brazilian Amazon is home to 40% of the world’s tropical rainforest. Incidentally, it also has the world’s fastest rate of deforestation. Tropical Rainforests around the world are lost at the rate of one acre per second with the average rate of Brazilian Amazon being such that 2 million hectares of forest land are cleared every year. There are multiple causes for this extensive rate of deforestation and this paper will address four such causes namely (1) rapid population growth, (2) industrial logging and mining, (3) changing spatial patterns of deforestation, and (4) wildfires. Moreover, there are several Brazilian state policies that encourage deforestation practices of which this paper will look at five key aspects – (1) taxes on agricultural income, (2) rules of land allocation, (3) land taxes, and (4) tax credit schemes and subsidized credits.

  • Essay On Forest Management

    1265 Words  | 6 Pages

    Sustainable forest management requires three major criteria which are the maintenance of ecological processes within the forest (soil formation, energy flow, biogeochemical cycles (carbon, nutrient and hydrological cycles), maintenance of biodiversity of forest, improving the net social benefits derived from the mixture of forest uses within the constraints by considering the future. Forest provides habitats for more than half of the fauna and flora on the Earth (SCBD, 2001). Forest biome plays an important role in mitigating climate change by serving as carbon sinks (Hassan et al., 2005). Forest land is the most fundamental natural resources which become reduced mainly due to anthropogenic pressures. For proper management of land, it is essential to have information about existing land cover and about the naturalness of the land.
