Argumentative Essay: Should The Government Have A Wildfire?

“More than 90 percent of the wildfires have been caused by human actions”(Gabriel Zacharias).The remaining 10 percent are started by lightning or lava. Wildfires can somewhat be good at times when burning and keeping the greenery down to build buildings or houses near. Though at times accidental wildfires can kill wildlife, kill people, burn homes and cause much more damage to anything the fire spreads to all from throwing a single cigarette. The government in brazil needs to get involved in this because they aren't enforcing strict enough laws for littering cigarettes and unattending campfires and this is happening way too often. The government needs to be stricter against this and enforce these laws so people will realize the consequences

One way a wildfire can be caused is in camping. In many places, camping is a big thing. Almost anyone would want to spend time in the woods to enjoy the great outdoors. Sometimes fires are needed for various things during camping and they can start wildfires very easily if not put out properly and if they spark(NASA Earth Observatory).The government should create a system where people shouldn't be aloud to have a campfire unless they have a licence stating that they can make a campfire without any harm. Littering cigarettes is also a big issue too. Some people smoke while driving, biking or walking don't realize what would happen if you throw your cigarette .

The government needs to be strict about this because you are capable of starting a fire and you are guilty of littering. The government should enforce a law against this that states that you would have to pay a major fine for this or even have some jail time because this could influence the person not to do it looking at the

Preventing wildfires is something we must all learn about. Sometimes the very little careless acts can cost the city a lot and even lives can be lost. There are many ways you could prevent wildfires to make it a safer community. Deforestation is the permanent destruction of forests in order to make the land available for other uses.Illegal logging plays a central role in the destruction of the Amazon. ”Between 60 and 80 percent of all logging in the Brazilian Amazon is estimated to be illegal.”(Greenpeace International).The loggers have a trade system where loggers enter the Amazon forest and illegally burn them and then sell the timber to the UK and other foreign markets.(Jonathan Watts) Sometimes when they burn trees down for land or for logging the fire can get outrageous and expand for miles.This has become a very severe deforestation issue. “An estimated 18 million acres of forest, which is roughly the size of the country of Panama, are lost each year.”(United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization). The government needs to take action and make illegal logging have a stricter punishment against it because this is causing severe deforestation problems in Brazil and the Amazon is getting alot smaller each
