KN,

Most of the companies that take down trees plant new ones in their place. That just makes sense for them so they have a sustainable source of income. I thin the worst part of this is the deforestation happening in the Amazon and the rainforests and jungles of southeast Asia. They are doing that for the sake of opening up new lands for farms, not for the wood, and that is dangerous. It is changing the ecosystem of those regions, which is affecting the world.

Ah the old slash and burn philosophy. Yes many third world countries are doing this in the topical zones. Some day soon I hope someone teaches them to stop.

Or makes them stop. We can't lost all the jungles and rain forest in the world.

We have been trying to get them to stop for many years but I guess they do not want to listen to us. Plus their populations are exploding so they need more farm land to help feed everyone. So that pressure is also on them.

Which is why paying them to stop their deforestation may be just the ticket, as this article stipulated. Yeah, that could tend to be expensive, but in the long run it'll save money and save lives by keeping our air clean and helping to reduce climate change.

New measurements show widespread forest loss has reversed the role of tropics as a carbon sink. A new report provides the most comprehensive picture of deforestation's toll on critical climate change safeguard; reveals hard-to-measure forest degradation is responsible for nearly 70 percent of emissions from tropical forests. Researchers discovered that tropical regions are now a net source of carbon to the atmosphere. Source 8m.

So here is what I think, I think a large part of climate change is the deforestation that we have perpetrated upon this poor planet of ours. We took multiple ecosystems that used to filter our air and help reduce the carbon footprint and we cut them down. But that isn't good enough, then we decided to burn the undergrowth and what we cut down… to make sure we really ruined our climate. Then, in our infinite wisdom, we decided as a species to blame it all on the wrong thing. It isn't our burning fossil fuels leading to climate change, or at least that isn't the predominant reason, it is the mass execution of our forests and jungles that is the primary reason.

Deforestation is changing animal communication. Deforestation is changing the way monkeys communicate in their natural habitat, according to a new study. This study offers the first evidence in animal communication scholarship of differences in vocal behaviors in response to different types of forest edge areas. Source 2n.
