Why should people conserve the forest? My gf is writing an article on forest preservation.. but we%26#039;re finding it very difficult to find really strong points on why anyone should care at all.
The article is supposed to shock people into caring.. but it seems nobody really cares, so long as they can still go about their everyday business. What would shock people into caring?


PERMACULTURE
Permaculture is a way of living hand in hand with the Environment ,on the edge of Nature
Its a sustainable way of human existence that needs far less of the Natural resources or incorporates it as part of the concept .
Farming Natural animals or plant in conjunction with trees.
Building soil instead of depleting it
Harvesting water instead of diminishing it
And not contaminating anything

This is definitely the best philosophy to project ,
Instead of the harmful mono culture farming of today

Ancient civilizations were far more advanced about the concept of sustainability,and some of their isolated descendants still practice remnants of that today.

Generally speaking the so called educated farmers tend to be the most harmful and unfortunately this negative education has spread wiping out the sense of the past
We must try to preserve this knowledge ,
which is what Permaculture is all about

THE ONLY WAY i CAN THINK OF TO PRESERVE FORESTS IN RICH COUNTRIES IS BY EDUCATION STARTING IN KINDER GARDEN

To try and create love and respect as well as to demonstrate the necessity of these resources ,brainwash the kids at an early age
and to turn the woods into utility parks .with animals

This is already happening in rich countries ,but all are different depending on their sizes.
In the Netherlands the deer walk amongst the people on ¨de Veluwe¨the country is no bigger than Mexico city so they don%26#039;t have a choice.

How ever the biggest enemy is Attitudes,Modern materialistic society ,largely prompted by their religions,which have alienated them from their Environment.
,egoistically have come to regard Humanity far more important than Nature,thinking Nature must give way to progress ,failing to realize that both have to be interrelated. 15% 2 Votes

An endangered species is a population of an organism which is at risk of becoming extinct because it is either few in number, or threatened by changing environmental or predation parameters. An endangered species is usually a taxonomic species, but may be another evolutionary significant unit. The World Conservation Union (IUCN) has calculated the percentage of endangered species as 40 percent of all organisms based on the sample of species that have been evaluated through 2006.[2] (Note: the IUCN groups all threatened species for their summary purposes.) Many nations have laws offering protection to these species: for example, forbidding hunting, restricting land development or creating preserves. Only a few of the many species at risk of extinction actually make it to the lists and obtain legal protection. Many more species become extinct, or potentially will become extinct, without gaining public notice.

The conservation status of a species is an indicator of the likelihood of that endangered species not living. Many factors are taken into account when assessing the conservation status of a species; not simply the number remaining, but the overall increase or decrease in the population over time, breeding success rates, known threats, and so on. The IUCN Red List is the best known conservation status listing.

Internationally, 189 countries have signed an accord agreeing to create Biodiversity Action Plans to protect endangered and other threatened species. In the U.S. this plan is usually called a species Recovery Plan
The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species uses the term endangered species as a specific category of imperilment, rather than as a general term. Under the IUCN Categories and Criteria, endangered species is between critically endangered and vulnerable. Also critically endangered species may also be counted as endangered species and fill all the criteria

The more general term used by the IUCN for species at risk of extinction is threatened species, which also includes the less-at-risk category of vulnerable species together with endangered and critically endangered.

IUCN categories include:

Extinct: the last remaining member of the species had died, or is presumed beyond reasonable doubt to have died. Examples: Thylacine, Dodo, Passenger Pigeon
Extinct in the wild: captive individuals survive, but there is no free-living, natural population. Examples: Alagoas Curassow
Critically endangered: faces an extremely high risk of extinction in the immediate future. Examples: Ivory-billed Woodpecker, Arakan Forest Turtle, Javan Rhino
Endangered: faces a very high risk of extinction in the near future. Examples: Cheetah, Blue Whale, Snow Leopard, African Wild Dog
Vulnerable: faces a high risk of extinction in the medium-term. Examples: Gaur, Lion
Least Concern: no immediate threat to the survival of the species. Examples: Norway Rat, Nootka Cypress Hawaiian Hawk 15% 2 Votes

coz forests really help people a lot. they provide wood for people to create shelter and other furnitures. they provide medicine. they help in the carbon dioxide-oxygene cycle. they help prevent floods. they give food. they give habitat for animals. they make our surroundings green. trees are everything! thats why people conserve the forest coz without the help of the forest, we wont be able to experience what we are experiencing now! we wont be using the chairs and tables. a lot of people will suffer from diseases. and we wont be staying in a comfortable and peaceful house. 0% 0 Votes

without trees live would not exist they create oxygen and provide homes for animals also they help to create rain. the house you live in is created by wood products, trees also recycle carbon dioxide back into the soil instead of into the atmosphere discovery channel you should watch it sometime 15% 2 Votes
