Deforestation .

Whyarepeopleclearingsomanyforestsand rainforestsaroundtheworld?
The biggest factors that contribute to deforestation population is growing, and the people so many forests are cleared out. are farms and cattle pasture. In many countries the need more and more space to expand,

Problems that are affecting the degradation of soil.

Pressures on the region's agricultural land are leading to extensive land degradation: the causes are poverty, land shortage and increasing populations. It also has too contaminated places.

Atmospheric issues.
The most common issues in the atmospheric are:

pollution in the cities is higher because of industries pollution the air. The result is climate change. - Acid rain: it is a rain that is unusually acidic. It effects - The thinning of the ozone layer: it's getting smaller

-The contamination of the air and global warming: the

to the plants, aquatic animals and infrastructures. because of the pollution.

Main causes of water degradation.

Water degradation is the contamination of water bodies, like lakes, oceans or rivers.

There are two problems:

-Over exploitation: it is the excessive consumption of fresh - Contamination: It is caused by chemical products, industries. water for agricultural, urban or industrial uses.

Degradation to the loss of biodiversity.

Biodiversity is the variety of animals and plant species on the Earth.

Causes of the loss of biodiversity:

-Alteration and loss of the habitats. -Introduction of exotic species and -Pollution. genetically modified organisms.

-Climate change

-Overexplotation of resources.

Thailand.
Between 1945 and 1975 forest cover in Thailand declined from 61% to 34% of the country's land area because of deforestation. The main causes are: 1 Population growth. 2 Agricultural policy. 3 Illegal logging.

Japan.
Light pollution is common in Japan, New York and other cities because there are a lot of people living there. Some consequences are: 1 Energy waste. 2 Effects on animal and human health and psychology. 3 Disruption of ecosystems. 4 Effect on astronomy.

Water pollution in New Zealand is linked to a siltation due to land clearance who has affected lakes, rivers, caves and bays.
