Temperate+Rain+Forest+Conservation

Negative Effects of Humans on Temperate Rainforests Did you know, that we have lost nearly half of all the forest that blanketed the Earth, almost 3 billion hectares (Hectares are 10,000 sq. meters big.), and now they're just gone. And nearly no way to get it back. And did you know, that trees play critical parts in filtering air, moderating climate, and providing homes for animals? And in most of these places the rate of deforestation is incresing. We need to take action soon or our beautiful forests may as well be gone for good.

Positive Effects of Humans on Temperate Rainforest

A good thing that humans do to help the Temperate Rainforest is that they replant tree. A group of Environmental protectionists where hiking in the rainforest in New Zealand and the saw all the trees that were chopped down for paper and wood. So they are trying to get a group of people to plant more trees in the rainforest. In a year or two the trees have grown. Now our forests may have a chance.

Problem #1 One huge problem that is destroying our forests and our world is acid rain. Yes, acid that falls from the sky due to the gasoline and diesel used in our cars, fossil fueled power plants and industrial boilers. When the used pollution goes up into the sky it mixes with moisture in the sky, condensates, and falls down, dissolving all in its path. When acid rain meets a forest, one possible reaction is the wax on leaves burning away, resulting in leaves with no form of protection, opening them to an attack by bugs, the tree losing nutrients and possibly dying from nutrient loss. Also when the acid rain touches ground, it can destroy most of the organisms, causing the decaying material, not to decay, and lower the nutrient content in the soil. This diminishes the growth rate of trees, making them grow slower and in turn, shrink the forest.

We can help stop this though. If all of us use battery powered cars, carpool, or other methods of transportation (Bikes, scooters, or even walking) we can help fight this. We could stop it if enough of us join to be more ** green. ** Remember, ** reduce, reuse, ** and ** recycle. **

Problem #2 Forests around the world are being pollution with oil spills, mining and accidents. In Australia they polluted with oil and mining the coal falls into the ponds and the water will turn polluted. Another pollution is in New Zealand people go on hikes and the bring food in packaging and when they are done eating it the y just throw it in the rainforest floor. Then the animals eat it so they will eat plastic and they will suffocate and die. The solution could be to put up signs saying “No littering aloud” and so they will not litter and keep the environment clean.
