STOP!!....for Deforestation and Land Degradation

Something that most crucial problem to discuss is about aims to do to reduce deforestation and save our earth. To prevent deforestation and land degradation and to rehabilitate the function of the critical land are necessary to develop a well-planned forest and land rehabilitation program. There are so many actions that we can do to save our earth. 

     
Firstly, it is about greening of critical land which is one of effort to rehabilitate critical land by planting trees and establishment of soil conservation to be a productive land; serve as hydrological control; to maintain and improve land carrying capacity appropriate with land function. As we know, tree has a lot of benefits. There are so many kinds of tree which is not only has benefit to reduce emission but also based on the architecture of trees can be a beautiful tree in our garden. Planting the local tree or native species means we save our resources and prevent from the extinction species.  Secondly, we should wisely to use forest product for instance, thrifty use paper, wisely use wood as a raw material for furniture, etc. Thirdly, government should make a clear rule about forest management; distinct punishment for someone who breaks the law; distinct policy to the protective area that forbidden to make an exploration. 


Sustainable forest management becomes necessary to implement in corporations that carry out forest management. It is crucial to well-known about measuring forest value. We have to calculate the limitation number of cutting trees. However, appropriate calculation prevent to over-cutting measurable. The implementation of Reduce Impact Logging (RIL) is a good policy to minimize bad effect to the surround environment. Always follow the latest news about environment issue and active in environment organization can improve our environment respect. On the other hand, it is our duties to give more information — real condition that our earth is in danger — to other people about environment education. An effective way of reducing damage gases is to make the public, we in this case, aware about pros and cons in this problem. Public should be encouraged to use renewable energy sources and conserve energy as much as possible. More sophisticated technologies should be developed to make a better way to generate electricity.

Meaning and Importace of Forest

 Let us try looking at the meaning and the importance of forest. The definition of forest is an area with a high density of trees. Actually, there are two kinds of forest types: temperate and boreal forest types; and tropical forest types. Between types of forest have specific character each other. Forest can also be classified more specifically related on the dominant tree species present, specific climate, and the altitude of place. Forest sometimes comprise many tree species wthin small area, or it is sometimes just few species in large areas. Forest becomes home to many animals, plant species, and microorganism. Forests take hold of vitallity in soil nutritions cycle, it shows from microorganism can be a decomposer for the biomass materials.
    
The benefit of forest divided into direct benefit and indirect benefit. The example of forest direct-benefit is tree. Tree has a lot of adventages to our life. Wood of the trees can be a raw material to make furniture. Leaves can be an organic fertilizer such as compos; extract of the leaf can be an oil. Branch of trees can be a fuel burning. Some fruit of the tree are edible: jackfruit, matoa, kingfruit, sapodilla, etc. The fiber of tree becomes raw material of paper and particle board. Economic interest shows that tree has a big benefit. It is about long time period and long investation.
   
Nowdays, we realize that a lot of tree spesies are extinction can make a high price. It is a big chance to make a competitive business for kinds of commercial timber. Forests are of vital fungtions: as habitats for organism, hydrologic flow modulator, soil conservations, ecotourism, including one of the most important aspects of the earth’s biosphere; photosynthesis process shows that tree can reduce emition gases change to be fresh air which is usefull for respiration; all of this fungtions included forest indirect-benefit. As long as human still need food, oxygen for brething, paper for writing, it means that forest still important for us.
