The Effect of Uncontrolled Logging! What would happen? Read on!

Keep reading my article! And thanks for those who follow me on blog :) Thank you guys because you all support me write some article in this blog. Okay, what is our title today ? It's about our forest in this earth. Let's read! :)

i love my green and blue earth!

Definition of Forest
Forests are home to a variety of flora and fauna. Forests have been supplying raw materials such as wood, rattan, bamboo, fruits, firewood, resins, glue, and, of medicinal plants. Forest products is the sources of food, shelter, fuel, and basic medicine. In 1986 to June 1990, 500,000 hectares of forest in Malaysia cut but only the permitted areas only 320,000 hectares. This according to a report Trade Record Analysis of Fauna and Flora. Cengal and meranti has been the target of illegal logging because it is a protected tree. Logging in protected areas such as forest reserves and national parks. When logging activities have destroyed other plant species such as fallen timber it will destroy small plants that are around it. It will also cause the animals that live in the region face the threat. Forests are also a valuable treasure the world. Forests have been supplying our country with a variety of resources such as timber and medicine. Malaysia is also famous for its natural beauty that has always been an attraction to foreign tourists. Although the forest has helped to diversify the economic base, but lately, forests face threat of destruction of the parties who are greedy and only concerned with mere wealth. The increase in illegal logging activities like mushrooms grow after rain has seen a significant impact on the country. If the problem is not addressed, of course, we will face 1001 problems in the future


Definition of Illegal Logging
Illegal logging contributes to the occurrence of natural disasters. Uncontrolled logging will make the surface of the earth bare and exposed to erosion. The eroded material is taken and deposited in the river bed. This caused river siltation. When the heavy rains, the river could not accommodate a lot of water then it overflowed into the surrounding area. Flooding that often destroy indigenous settlements resulted in the suffering of life is headed. Custom state domestic fencing, fencing camp village custom. We must not be selfish. Every action we take will certainly have an impact on others.

In addition, the destruction of habitat for flora and fauna also is the effect of illegal logging. It is well known that the forest is a natural shelter for a variety of plants and wild animals. Forest destruction means destruction of dwelling life-forms that live in it. If no action is taken to control the human activities that are immoral, there would be worse things will happen. For example, the extinction of the specie. Therefore, proactive steps must be taken to prevent worse things from happening. Contrite before income, useless regret later. Do not let our grandchildren are wondering, what is the orang-utan, tigers elephants, and parrots.


In addition, illegal logging has also resulted in an increase in temperature in our country. Illegal logging activities will increase the content of carbon dioxide in the air. These gases can trap heat in the atmosphere than is reflected back. Phenomenon that causes the increase in ambient temperature. The situation got worse when the lack of vegetation to absorb this gas. In addition to rising temperatures, this phenomenon could result in the greenhouse effect and local temperature changes Therefore, we need to appreciate God's creation award invaluable this. Can we live comfortably in such hot conditions? Pat the chest, ask themselves.

In addition to lung function as the earth, the forest also acts like a sponge in water catchment areas. Human activity fell trees will affect catchment areas in the highlands. This reduces the absorption and retention of water in the soil thus affecting the water supply. This situation brings depravity to surrounding residents. Unprecedented water crisis in the Klang Valley and Malacca cause residents with daily activities such as cooking, bathing and washing clothes disturbed. Therefore, we should realize the importance of forests in our lives.

Oh, this is terrible! I will kill the who did this >:[

Factors That Lead to Illegal Logging
The factors that lead to illegal logging is opening new land. Opening new agricultural areas such as the opening of the land schemes by Felda and Felcra in Malaysia which also destroy species of plants. Illegal logging is also able to provide employment opportunities for residents. This is to provide income to the people. Unemployment in our country will also reduce. Thus, the standard of living will improve. Moreover, this can also increase the national income. This is because logging can help to create greater forest-based industries and timber. And timber are exported to abroad. Image of our country will also increase. This will cause many people know our country.


Effects of Illegal Logging
The effects of logging is cause destruction of natural habitats for flora and fauna. It is well known that the forest is a natural habitat for many plant and wildlife species that are becoming extinct. Deforestation will lead to the destruction of habitats for plants and wildlife is. For example, large areas of forest destroyed for development or illegal logging. Without safe shelter, these animals will die and turn extinct. In addition, rich forest plants have a source of medicine or cure for various ailments. Destruction of forests means the loss of this valuable materials.

Further, the lack of forest will cause world temperatures to rise. This is because the role of forests to absorb carbon dioxide and provide oxygen to the living beings on earth. If the forests are cut down with impunity, then the opportunity to increase the volume of oxygen gas in the air will decrease.

Per cent carbon dioxide was in the air will continue to rise. This will cause an increase in global temperature. When this situation occurs, the total volume of the oceans will also increase as a result of melting ice at the North Pole and the South Pole. For example, the phenomenon of global warming caused by logging activities or reduction of forest areas in the world freely.

As a result of this phenomenon, the greenhouse effect also occurred. In addition, forests covered explored causes soil exposed to natural disasters. This is due to the forest is no longer able to function as a water catchment area.

When heavy rains hit the area, the water continues to erode down the bare surface of the earth and to bring this land erosion into the river. This incident can be seen, for example in a landslide. This incident occurred because of the absence of plant roots that grip the ground, especially the banks or the highlands. River will become increasingly shallow as a result of precipitation of mud at the bottom. This situation will cause flash floods hit more easily.


How To Overcome The Problem of Illegal Logging
Absolutely no doubt that the forest is a very high natural heritage value. Forest bring many positive impacts on the community and the nation. Without the forest we will not be able to enjoy the panoramic beauty that we enjoy at this time. Forests are threatened as a result of greed and self-indulgence of society at this time. They are just perform an action based on lust rather than based mind when they knew the impact of their actions on future generations. Therefore, all parties should work together to ensure that the reserved forests because forests provide benefits to society and the nation.


Between the interests of the community forest is a catchment area. Forests are the dominant source of water we use in our daily routine. If the forests are dying , just imagine how our lives without water. Indeed, we are aware that we can not live without water even for a day because the daily routine activities we always use water as car washing, washing dishes, bathing and also meet the basic needs of human beings. Illegal logging is rampant in this day and resulted in the country's forests threatened. This will cause us to lose water catchment area thus we will lose the quality of water resources. Therefore, as a responsible society, we should be concerned about illegal logging that threatens the interests of the forest.


In addition, the forest also can stabilize the percentage of oxygen in the earth's surface. This is because only the forest can only carry out the process of photosynthesis. The process of photosynthesis is very important in the life of the community in ensuring that our nation's average temperature did not increase the greenhouse effect may bring negative impact to the community. If the forest is cut down, the number of green plants will decrease and cause the carbon dioxide rose like mushrooms after the rain grows. We will experience El - Nini while our country is in the position of the equator. In fact, we had our hot and humid climate throughout the year, but why do we want our country experienced a prolonged drought. Thus the society must be materialistic greed scrape in their minds as a paradigm shift.


Next, the forest is also a habitat for flora and fauna BGI is also the source of our food. Forest is the only habitat for flora and fauna. If the extinct forest where wild animals are able to live apart woods? In addition, the forest is a source of food for the wild animals that belong to the category ' herbivore' . If they lose their source of our food will lose an important source for our protein sources are meat animals in the forest.


Besides the forest buffer erosion during rain watered the earth . If the forest is cut down, the soil will become bare and blazing hot sun will cause the soil to be dry. This will cause erosion to occur. Thus, forests can prevent landslides from occurring because the roots of the plant can easily bind loose soil that will cause landslides once the mud.


Finally, the tourism sector can also generate economic role of forests. This is because the government has set up an eco- tourism area that preserves the extinction of flora and fauna such as Bako National Park in Sarawak and Kinabalu National Park in Malaysia. These forest areas are areas that banned logging activities. Indeed, the government's drastic action was to save the country's forests from extinction. In addition forest also can generate economy through export activity logs valuable purchase gain high market internationally. Accordingly, the forest has helped the country promote the development of the country towards progress and be able to stand tall, sit low in other countries.


In the rapid growth and expanding the center, many people do not realize that it also had an impact on the environment side. Ecological systems and the erosion of the earth has been disturbed by development activities and illegal logging enterprises. Human invention has no value sensitive social issues in the community is a major cause of environmental degradation. Therefore, we must be accountable to the environment. Thus, environmental problems can be eradicated :)

all brown. No green anymore :(
