Research-Deforestation

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

• Forests cover about 30 percent of the world’s land area, but swaths the size of Panama are lost each and every year.
• Removing trees deprives the forest of portions of its canopy, which blocks the sun’s rays during the day and holds in heat at night. This disruption leads to more extreme temperatures swings that can be harmful to plants and animals.

• Half the world’s tropical forests have been cleared or degraded. Every hour, at least 4,500 acres of forest fall to chain saws, machetes, flames, or bulldozers. Population growth, poverty, and unequal access to land are among the major causes of deforestation (Forestry Department Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations).
• Trees provide an important ecosystem function by storing carbon, a cause of climate change, in their biomass (wood, leaves, and roots). Currently the world’s forests store 283 billion tons (equivalent to the size of 40.1 billion elephants) of carbon in their biomass (Forestry Department Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations).
• More than half of the world's timber and 72% of paper is consumed by 22% of the world's population (the United States, Europe, and Japan). Worldwide, industrialized countries consume over twelve times more wood products per person than non-industrialized countries. The United States has less than 5% of the world's population yet consumes more than 30% of the world's paper (Rainforest Action Network).
• Worldwide, 1.6 billion people rely on forest products for all or part of their livelihoods (World Resources Institute and Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations).

Life’s Greatest Miracle

I watched the video called Life's Greatest Miracle. This video shows how a baby is created. It starts showing since the sperm goes inside the vagina. Also, goes in deep detail about how an embryo is developed step by step. It says that our body want to make babies. Everyday there are 365,000 babies born worldwide. The most interesting fact is how incredible is for a woman to create life. It is also interesting how the DNA is responsible for reproduction. It explains all the cells, molecules, tissues that create organs which allow a life to be created. I am surprised that it takes so much work for our body to create a life, and we do not notice all the work that is going on inside our body while we are doing activities. Many people say that is so easy to get pregnant, and many women keep getting pregnant right after one and another. However, this video shows how much work sperms have to do in order to get to their destination. There are millions of sperms that travel to meet their egg, and only one or two make it because the 60% of the sperms die in their journey. This is because the vagina is acid, therefore, the acid kills the sperms. In this case, sperms are more about quantity instead quality, and the eggs are more about quality instead quantity. Then, it talks about every step in the journey of the new life’s development . You must watch this video because it is informative and super interesting. Over all, I was surprise to find out that men are responsible for the baby’s gender.
