Killing the planet

From about the mid-1800s our planet has experienced a mass destruction of forests worldwide. Forests in Europe are adversely affected by acid rain and very large areas of Siberia have been harvested since the collapse of the Soviet Union. In the last two decades, Afghanistan has lost over 70% of its forests throughout the country. However, it is in the world's great tropical rainforests where the destruction is most pronounced at the current time and where clearcutting is having an adverse effect on biodiversity and contributing to the ongoing Holocene mass extinction.


Due to deforestration and kill, lots of oraginsms have become extinct and more are on the verge of extinction.

Here is the IUCN (International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources) list of endagered species.

* Extinct: the last remaining member of the species has died, or is presumed beyond reasonable doubt to have died. Examples: Thylacine, Dodo, Passenger Pigeon

* Extinct in the wild: captive individuals survive, but there is no free-living, natural population. Examples:South China Tiger, Alagoas Curassow

* Critically endangered: faces an extremely high risk of extinction in the immediate future. Examples: Arakan Forest Turtle, Javan Rhino, Brazilian Merganser

* Endangered: faces a very high risk of extinction in the near future. Examples: Blue Whale, Snow Leopard, African Wild dog, Tiger, Albatross, Crowned Solitary Eagle

* Vulnerable: faces a high risk of extinction in the medium-term. Examples: Cheetah, Gaur, Lion, Wolverine

* Conservation Dependent: The following animal is not severely threatened, but the animal must depend on conservation programs. Examples: Spotted Hyena, Leopard Shark, Black Caiman

* Near Threatened: may be considered threatened in the near future. Examples: Blue-billed Duck, Solitary Eagle, Small-clawed Otter , Maned Wolf

* Least Concern: no immediate threat to the survival of the species. Examples: Brown Rat, Nootka Cypress, Wood Pigeon

Stopping deforestation is out of scope of human race. This race is born to be civilized and have evolved into a ecosystem where we have concerns about the planet but people do very little to really support them themselves.

What can possibly we do to save this planet?
If everyone take cares of one tree and thinks twice before buying any items made out of wood, some trees in a far off land will be spared. Saving trees will save few organisms which have been habituated to that tree and so on a generation of species will be saved.
