Answer 2

maybe something you like in here

my notes on deforestation,and desertification which tends to be the end result

CAN DEFORESTATION BE STOPPED

Almost impossible

the Indians or local people would cut everything down and burn the forrest to replace it with harmfull short term farming killing the soil in no time

expanding populations and expanding farming ,that has to keep pace with the expanding populations are very strong forces that encroach upon the rainforest's

clearing them for farming and settlement areas .

that and the giant networks of roads that have exchanged forests for asphalt all over the planet

In Mexico is a famous jungle that the Media has been trying to save for years

the Naturists ,and the government ,keep watch .laws are made for protection the wild and to forbid logging.

TV put out a series of documentaries

there are campaigns in the News papers

and all of this has not made the slightest difference

Rainforest's always are in third world countries and always in third world countries corruption and the need for money s highest

the jungle gets smaller by the day

more and more farmers move in .and burn the trees

it is an impossible situation

as long as there is poverty and an increasing birth rate in these regions the destruction will continue

they are too easily tempted to sell of exotic animals to the unscroupelous people who buy them.for the market that exists in the USA.

we must look for ways to improve economic situations on the edges of Nature .

the only way to preserve the forrest is to devellop eco tourism under strict control that has limited acces ,and use the local people in the concept as guides ,hotel staff and get them to start home industries of artifacts .

eco tourism is the only concept that profits by a healthy back ground with out harming it

THE FUNCTION OF FORESTS

the forrests make most of the water that we can drink or use for plant growth(sweet water)

some is condensed from the sea but that reaches only the coastel aereas .

the bulk ,comes from the forests ,and the rivers come from the rainfall which comes from the trees ,

and the trees with precipitation,feed the rivers when it is not raining and keep them running all year round.

If we kill all the trees,we kill the rivers .we kill the rain. we kill us.

the trees also absorb the heat in the day and heat up the place in the night ,so they keep the temperature confertable to live in.

in the autemn there is an excess of carbon released because of the dead organic material ,the seas and waters when cool absorb this,in the spring when the new growth requires carbo the warmer waters release it ,so in con junction with the seas and rivers the bio mass on this planet maintains a balanced atmosphere for us to breathe.

POLUTION

now with the mass deforrestation(decrease in bio mass)coupled to the increase in carbon emissions,industrial chimneys,aerosol cans,motor cars,burning of plastics and tires to name but a few ,the carbon production by far exeeds what the bio-mass and the waters can handle,and so effect into global warming and the destruction of the ozone layers,

REFORRESTATION

so to counter act these fatal processes we must reforrest and at the same time reduce our carbon emissions.

most governments are aware of these and many first world countries now include programs to reduce their carbon emissions.

the world bank pays large subsidies for farmers to plant trees especially a tree called Paulownia elongate carolinia,because it is one of the better ones that capture carbon.

DESERTIFICATION

desertification is also a result of bad agricultural methods and deforrestation

in the dessert the nights are freezing cold and during the days you burn up

the sahara is growing by 7 kilometres every day.

two major desserts in northern china are growing together making one giant dessert and,causing dust storms so making thousands of people refugeese

IN THE PAST

in the days of the dinosaurs this planet was under an aquiferus manta ,a mist that covered the entire earth ,and there were very few desserts .

Count how many there are today,and most of them are as a result of mans actions.

the sahara used to be forrests

arabia ,irak ,iran used to be fertile lands in biblical times

Ghengas Kahn burned all the forrests here and filled the well with water and so turning vast lands into dessert.

the Spanish Armada deforested Spain

.the Phoenician fleet deforested Lebanon

some more places are everywhere where there are or where forrests and wild life

Madagascar a botanic paradise is now destroyed

the exotic animals sold or killed ,the forest slash and burned for agriculture ,the coastal water poluted by topsoils washed fronm the denuded moutains by the rains.

many many countries in Africa (because of poverty and war as well as greedy farming )

Borneo because of the expensive timber

india ,China ,Mexico ,South Americas Amazonia,

Europe because of civilization,USA,Japan because of overpopulation,

you name it if they had lots of it ,they also lost a lot ,some places lost ALL.

Answer 3

What sort of business leaders? It makes a difference if you're speaking to Fortune 500 CEO's or tree farmers or local carpenters and burger flippers.

What do you mean by "saving our forests"? Save them from what or from who? Are you saving the forests from wild fires? Woodpeckers? Loggers? Wood boring insects? What are you asking your audience to do? Donate money to the Sierra Club? Buy forest land and preserve it? Write letters to Congress? March and carry signs?

Are you saving public forests or private? That makes a huge difference.

I'm puzzled. What exactly would you like to accomplish?

Answer 4

SURE! I

I'd Love to....atleast i can call my self some what of an environmentalist after.

First of all talk about the all the weather changes or climate changes we are seeeing all over the world...The situation after 5 years, 10 years, and the future for the Human Beings.....

Then talk about some of the main reason for it, which is excesive oil consumtion, co2 in the atmosphere, pollution, and that we, as humans and our industries are causing such changes....

Then you can go on and talk about one of the ways to slow down to process, which is to save trees, and planting more trees....

Explain the basic benefits of having more trees, and put forth a plan in front of them...

Such as if you cut 1 tree, you must plant 10 more trees in its place.....or every industry should spent half of their profit in planting trees....or Every Single Worker of the Industy and family plants trees every 6 month or every six month or some sort of plan...step by step...ready to be implemented......

Then talk about all the positive benefits of it, and how much it will positively impact the current situation, almost reversing global warming...which might seem almost impossible, but i've always been taught..NOTHING is IMPOSSIBLE.

If this doesn't convince them...I don't know what will........

Answer 5

You are in a very good position and I hope you will be able to convert some materialistic people to move their sight from money to social cause. Yes, saving our environment and forest is certainly the greates social cause we can work for.

Global warming, climatic changes, pollution, decrease of green cover, over exploitation of natural resources and population explotion are some of the worst things and this is effecting more living creatures than any thing else. We need to control all of above and move ahead.

So you will have to talk about above problems in such a way that it has impact on your audiance and they are made to think and act on your advice. I am giving all the problems hereunder.

GLOBAL WARMING

CLIMATIC CHANGES

POLLUTION

DECREASE IN GREEN COVER

OVER EXPLOITATION OF NATURAL RESOURCES

&

POPULATION EXPLOTION

Remember to speak about all above in such a way so as your audiance feels that actually you are speaking for them and their children only since we fear and think only if we feel that some thing bad will happen to us or our children.

If you tell them the link of TIGER - FOREST - WATER - US HUMANS this can also have  agood effect.Tiger our national animal needs forest their home, forests are important for pure air and water security, more than 300 rivers in India itself get water from forests having tigers, Pure water and air is important for our survival.

This link and your explanation of problems will certainly have an impact and you will be able to save not only our forest and environment but our biological diversity and TIGER our national animal also.

Answer 6

1.  Present an existing environmental issue/problem.

2.  State the cause/causes of the problem.

3.  Present a worst-case scenario of what will be the  effect to business and community if such environmental problem is not addressed.

4.  Present recommended solutions.

5.  Identify the areas of cooperation among all government and private sector (e.g. businessess,  civic organizations, etc.)  whose participation in solving the problem is critical.

Business leaders are usually very cooperative especially if their role is well defined and the speaker or advocate stresses the importance of their participation.  Also it is also very effective in convincing audience if the presentation is supported by well researched data/statistics.

Answer 7

Get a short clip of planet earth. (Tv show that is on sundays.)

Answer 8

1. Direct corelation between tree cover and heat. You can do an experiment with area where trees are planted and area where they are not planted measure tempratures difference.

2. Trees reduce pollution,increase ground water retention, cause regular rainfalls, prevent flooding or minimize flood impacts. In coastal regions trees can reduce tsunami impacts.

3. Trees can form a sustaining economy , no growth can survive at the expense of environment. Biodiesel,ethanol are case examples.

4. Mankind cannot survive at the expense of all environment, artificial science cities are myth and cannot exist without plants/trees.

5. The entire earth lifeforms survive on a delicate balance between plants and animals and mankind is breaking this balance by destroying environment, this could kill us all in a very short span (few decades)

Answer 9

If you wish to save the environment, ask industry to cut down all of the forests.  According to Al Gore, the biggest threat to the environment is Global Warming, the buildup of CO2 in the atmosphere. Cutting down all of the forest will produce more grassland and new growth forests. Thereby sequestering more CO2 in plant material per acre.
