Conservation Of Forest Essay

1477 Words6 Pages

God made the earth and everything on this planet in six days and on the third day he made all the fruit bearing trees, flowers, seed and all types of flora. Being a creationist, I believe that God blessed the earth and its creatures with all sorts of forests that have been the habitat of all sorts of fauna. Earth treasures a diverse variety of forests that are mystical in their own ways. There are many types of forests namely the rain forests, tropical forests, coniferous forests, mangrove forests, etc. These forests are important for our survival as they are not only a natural home for many animals but also crucial for maintaining the average temperature of the planet and checking carbon dioxide levels which have been increasing to a disturbing level. With the Homo sapiens expanding their territory, the existence of many such significant forests is becoming a concern. We have on this earth some of the largest and densest forests, of which some are those which haven’t even been stepped upon yet by humans and God only knows what mysteries they have concealed in them.

    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.

    There cannot be an ecosystem or environment without some form of diversity. Forests that dominantly had only one type of tree are hugely in danger of destruction. This destruction will not come from human hands, but from nature itself, as diseases can easily devastate the environment. With diversity, the system can remain healthy for if one type of plant is wiped out, there are many others to take its place and fill the gap.

    The effect of reduced forest size has already had a measurable impact on the composition of our atmosphere in the relatively short amount of time we have been cutting them down(6). Ironically however it is the conversion of forest land to urban and agriculture use that has a more permanent and detrimental impact. Logging and urbanization lead to forest succession. Forest succession happens when there are changes to an environment that causes the composition of plant and animal species to change. New species succeed the existing ones as a result of things like changes in amount of shade, temperature, or the introduction of foreign species.

There are solitary trees, and trees that can walk, talk, reason, and feel emotion. Some of the trees in Middle-Earth act apathetic, mindless or cruel, while others present themselves as kind and powerful. However, the trees that are called cruel, and even evil are not inherently bad.

    Deforestation: Good or Bad? By Tristan McDermott (Final Copy) Deforestation is a controversial environmental issue, with some people believing that it is necessary to cut down trees to make room for things such as buildings and roads, while others believe that it is bad because it is destroying the environment.

    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.
