Swidden Farming and the Logging Industry in Indonesia

Humans are dangerous for forests because they destroyed forests in such ways as cutting down the trees that provide the ecosystem in their forest, illegal logging that using the timber for factories, farming for provide human food supply, and for agriculture as well. Furthermore, reason for most of cutting down the trees or deforestation is money. Many economists and environmentalists still have different opinions between how they can manage the forests in the future. Economists would think we have enough natural resources or forests that we can use for anything. On the other hand, environmentalists think using too much forests or natural resources for any demands or commodities will impact native animals and plants life.

It isn’t just about tree huggers. According to the United Nations International Strategy for Disaster reduction, environment degradation is the limit of earth to meet social and environmental destinations and needs. The degradation of the environment is more caused by human activity than natural occurrence. The increasing population causes some ecological effect as people expand and build homes and factories. These contributes greatly to pollution as trees are removed from their natural habitat and are used, the natural resources become depleted, therefore the environment become compromised and such problems as extinction of species (through haunting for food and lifestyle).

This would be fine if it was restricted to one spot and the trees were re-planted. But, deforestation has spread all over the world, and there are 1.6 billion people need the forest to survive.This leads into problems happening that need the forest to keep them in check. Things like the carbon and the water cycle are ruined because of the lack of trees. And

The main reason for deforestation is agriculture. The farmers cut the forests down so that they have a lot of land to farm on including moist soil and etc. Sometimes farmers only cut or burn a little bit of trees so they could plant and feed their families. Also a lot of trees are cut each year for paper. Sometimes loggers do illegal things like building roads to access forests which leads to more and more deforestation.

When deforestation happens, these animals have gradually fewer areas in which they can live. Once these areas are destroyed, the species become extinct. Animals promote in balancing our ecosystem, food chain and perform as food for us. Therefore, it is really a disgrace for us to destroy their habitat. Deforestation destroys their natural homes and habitat forcing them to relocate, sometimes they try to move into inhabited area looking for food or shelter a... ... middle of paper ... ...s, also to release the water gradually into rivers.

It will take time to cut down the trees, as it will take time to grow them back. Meadows seems to have a misconception of industries and the service they provide. All industries, whether it be recycling to logging, are trying to

We rely on trees and so do our natural habitat. Personally I believe we need to find better ways to take care of our world because the way we're going, we won't last long. Many wildfires outburst are happening more often and it is really sad.Many animals lose their homes and so do many people. They also lose their lives. Wildfires are very serious and we need to figure out more ways to fix this issue.

However, except for offering human copious amount of cheaper food, factory farming is an unhealthy agricultural practice to both human and the environment. Factory farming contributed to serious pollution problems, the animal treatments are cruel and it has restricted the business opportunity of traditional farms and its workers by occupying their markets. Therefore, I strongly support that factory farming should be banned. First of all, factory farming creates much pollution on our environment. It produces livestock in great amount would need many resources, and make a lot amount of waste at the same time.

It also allows for clearcutting of huge forest areas. It prevents citizens from exercising their right to challenge illegal logging plans. FSEEE also suggest such vague laws will allow for massive clearcutting of healthy trees and that it also directs the federal government to dramatically increase timber harvests. Allowing for deforestation by the federal government by such vague laws gradually contributes to global deforestation and a corresponding increase in species extinction. Reforestation, by replanting, is only done on a fraction of the deforested area, and it usually creates a monoculture plantation, with much less biological diversity and less disease resistance than in virgin, or old-growth forest.

Many consumers and farmers have discovered that living in an industrialized culture where the focus has become faster, bigger, and cheaper is not the best way to produce our food. Obsessed with productivity, the agriculture industry is reaping the negative consequences of creating an unsustainable environment for food production. Time and time again, the media captures stories regarding deadly bacterial contamination and dangerous pesticide contamination causing illness and death in our communities. The environment is also damaged and contaminated. This devastating trend, due to irresponsible farming practices as a result of the industrialization of the food industry, has become all too common.
