The Issue of Deforestation

Deforestation is "cutting and removing all or most of the trees in the forested area. Forest logging reduces biodiversity by eroding the soil, causing desertification and water pollution, destroying the habitat "(deforestation). There are always two aspects of a problem In many cases, there is not always an intermediate position where they can agree. There are advantages and disadvantages, rights and errors that point one side to the other. Unfortunately, when two opposition parties are keen on their own views, sensitive issues such as deforestation are difficult to solve in a friendly way.

Due to the complexity of environmental problems such as deforestation there were many conflicts between environmental activity organizations such as Greenpeace and environmental activity organizations involved in deforestation. The solution to the problem of deforestation is to solve the root cause. In this case, finding a solution means considering economic problems at the center of this situation. Many proposals such as sustainable timber resources are made. Organizations such as Greenpeace and other activists are making great efforts to save tropical rainforests, but doing so will create many enemies. Many of these enemies are people who need to work together to help rainforests and people (Jordan 2006). Even if you continue deforestation at the current speed, you can not leave the tropical rainforest for only 100 years (Costa Rica, 2006). This is neither an effort nor a prompt solution.

Despite environmental rhetoric and protection laws, Costa Rica's deforestation record is poor. In the early 1990s, this country was one of the most serious deforestation rates in Latin America. According to FAO's "Current situation of forests around the world", FAO's forest resource assessment shows that the current coverage rate is close to 50%, but Costa Rica was once forest coverage rate of 99%. About 35%. Historically, the biggest factor in the destruction of the rainforest in Costa Rica is the cleaning of agriculture (mainly coffee and banana) and meadow. Between the 1970s and the early 1980s, big tropical rainforests were burned into beef farms, but when the largest Central American beef importer in the United States ceases importing beef, Costa Rica has millions of acres of clean land And many cows left.
