Essay On Deforestation

Deforestation is a current problem in this world, and it’s happening every day, more and more. Deforestation is the clearing of the world’s forests on a massive scale. Every year, the amount of forest we lose is equivalent about the size of Panama. It is everywhere, look at where we attend college. Once upon a time, Eckerd College was all forested area. Every time we build something here on campus, more and more trees get knocked down.

Now, not all forests get knocked down for just schools, there 's hundreds of reasons why, but some of the more common known reasons being for recreation, agriculture, and the selling of timber. Now, my proposal involves conserving the forest along with recreational value. On top of it all, my proposal would be

Although there are many, many companies and people destroying the forests, there are people conserving it. In the United States, we have National Parks, specifically to conserve. Our tax dollars pay for them to be maintained, and to basically conserve

Conservation is growing and as a whole race we should all come together and conserve our forests. Whether it be by locking them up as parks, or using them for recreational value, conservation is better than deforestation. My goal is for Eckerd to make a paintball program so that way as students, we can all conserve the forest, and have fun at the same time. If this were to happen, everyone would be satisfied. At the end of the day, the forest is preserved, were using it for recreation, and Eckerd makes money in the long
