FOREST ISSUES

 THE LAND OF THE WORLD ARE COVERED BY over About

one third of the Earth's land service, forests provide many benefits TO HUMAN AND ANIMAL LIFE.

The most notable direct benefits are an estimated 5000 commercial products, such as TIMBER LAND,

Turpentine, WATER SHED WELLNESS MANAGEMENT, PROTECT FROM SOIL EROSION, OXYGEN SUPPLIER, CORBON DIOXIDE ABSORBER, FOOD SUPPLIER TO FAUNA AND INSECT, GENE POOL, SEED ORCHARD, SURVIVAL FOR SEEDLING SUCH AS MERANTI MERAH SEEDLING AND others, PURSUIT TO THE worth billions of dollars a year.

Forests also provide THE BEST ECOTOURISME ACTIVITIES SUCH AS BIRD WATCHING ETC. PURSUIT TO VIRTUE life and opportunities for many forms of recreation.

In many POOR nations, forests are a source of wood FUEL for cooking and heating. 

Forests are also home to many of the world's species.  BIRDS HAVE RESTED AT THE BRANCHES OF MERANTI MERAH

Forests benefit us indirectly by protecting watersheds from soil erosion, WATER SURFACE FLOW and keep rivers and reservoirs relatively free of silt. 

Forests reduce the severity of floods and facilitate Aquifer recharge and they assist in the recycling of water, oxygen, nitrogen FIXATION, carbon ABSORBTION, and other nutrients.

The great benefits of forests, only13 PERCENTof the world forest lands is under any kind of management.

In addition, only 2 PERCENT of the worlds forests are protected in forest reserves

Since the advent of agriculture, about 33 PERCENTS of the world's forests have been cleared and converted to other LAND uses, mostly farms and human ACTIVITIES SUCH AS THE LARGE OF OILPALM PLANTATION. 

To date, the AMERICA and Africa have both lost about one-third of their forests,

while Brazil, the Philippines, and Europe have lost 40 PERCENT; BRAZIL 50% and FILIPINA 70%, respectively. 

Moreover, deforestation continues virtually everywhere. 

one estimate, 17 million hectares (42 million acres) of Tropical rain forests - equal to the area the size of Washington state - are leveled each year.

The World Bank estimates that within a decade the number of tropical countries that export wood will REDUCE from 33 to about 10.

In India, forestland is shrinking by 1 million hectars (3.75 million acres) per year.

At its current rate of harvest, China will lose all of its commercial forests within ten years.

In the 1980s, softwood harvest on the West Coast of the United States exceeded sustainable yield by 25% on privately owned land and 61% on national forests.

An Aerial view of the Maine North Woods, the Brazilian rainforests or the Ancient forests of the Pacific Northwest reveal SOME wastelands where once there were thriving forest ecosystems.

Diverse forests have been replaced by the planted rows of tree plantations, to be harvested rather than nurtured as a living system.

We continue to HARVEST our forests at a dizzying rate, seemingly oblivious to the economic and environmental reality that soon we will have no remaining natural ecosystems. TIMBER Logging on both public and private lands is having a disastrous effect on many forest-dependent species.

We believe that the heavy use of forests might not be so bad if investments were made to replant trees at a rate commensurate with cutting.

In developing countries, for every 10 trees cut down only 1 tree is replanted.

In Africa the ratio is 29 to 1. Replanting OF TIMBER TREES ACTIVITIES need to be prioritized by those benefiting wildlife and species diversity verses those having lesser benefit.
