    Deforestation: Biology Presentation

    Uploaded by

    Amsyidi Asmida
    This biology presentation discusses deforestation. It begins by defining deforestation as the removal of forests and trees to convert land to non-forest use. Trees are cut down for building materials, fuel like charcoal, and timber. Cleared land is used for livestock pasture and plantations. Deforestation contributes to global warming by allowing more carbon dioxide to linger in the atmosphere, and it impacts the water cycle by reducing tree transpiration and soil moisture. Forests also provide natural beauty and tourism attractions. The presentation concludes by discussing ways to control deforestation through reforestation programs and using recycled products to reduce demand for raw materials.

    BIOLOGY PRESENTATION

    DEFORESTATION
    NIGEL WALKER - HARIZ HELMI
    D DEFINITION
    Deforestation, clearance or clearing is the
    removal of a forest or stand of trees where the
    land is thereafter converted to a non-forest use.
    W WHY
    Trees cut down are used for building or sold as
    fuel, (sometimes in the form of charcoal or
    timber).

    Cleared land is used as pasture for livestock and


    plantation.
    I 1
    IMPACT
    Deforestation is a contributor to global warming.

    Deforestation causes carbon dioxide to linger in


    the atmosphere. As carbon dioxide accrues, it
    produces a layer in the atmosphere that traps
    radiation from the sun.
    I 2
    IMPACT
    The water cycle is also affected by deforestation.

    Trees no longer transpire this water, resulting in a much drier


    climate. Deforestation reduces the content of water in the soil and
    groundwater as well as atmospheric moisture. The dry soil leads to
    lower water intake for the trees to extract.
    Deforestation reduces soil cohesion, so that erosion, flooding and
    landslides ensue.
    I 3
    IMPACT
    Shrinking Beauty

    Forests are green visions of natural beauty that are valued for their
    cultural resource. Simply put “ they are ‘nice’ to look at and fun to
    explore during family vacations or adventure hikes. In some parts of
    the world, they provide great tourist attractions.
    “ Damage to forests and other
    aspects of nature could halve
    living standards for the world's
    poor and reduce global GDP by
    about 7% by 2050, a report
    concluded at the
    ”
    Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) meeting in Bonn in
    2008.
    C 1
    CONTROL
    Use Recycled Items
    Today, a consumer can purchase a variety of recycled items,
    including notebook paper, books, toilet paper, and shopping bags.
    When people use recycled products and make a conscious effort not
    to waste, the demand for new raw material to replace these items
    can decrease.
    C 2
    CONTROL
    Reforestation:
    Take a page from the People’s Republic of China, where the
    government has in the past set a requirement that every able-
    bodied citizen between the ages of 11 and 60 is responsible for
    planting three to five trees per year or complete an equal amount of
    work in other areas of forestry. Since 1982, the government claims
    that at least one billion trees have been planted in China as a result
    of the program.
    C Conclusion

    As human beings we must avoid deforestation as it


    come with a big price. It might not affect us much
    currently, but It’ll give a huge impact to the next
    generation. Therefore, action must be taken as soon as
    possible to ensure a better and greener environment for
    everyone.
