Essays on Deforestation

Deforestation is caused by the growing demand for forest products and the conversion of forest to agriculture as the human population continues to expand. In 1750 cropland and pastureland occupied 6-7% of the global land surface; by 1990 cropland and pastureland occupied 35-39% of the global land surface. It is estimated that the world is currently losing over 9 million hectares per year which is an area the size of Portugal. Deforestation not only affects the climate by increasing the…...

One of the most controversial areas associated with the global problem of deforestation is the Pacific Northwest of the US. The problem can be broken down into several issues that all tie in together. These include the near extinction of the Northern Spotted Owl, the business aspect of logging versus the environmental aspect, and the role of the government in this problem.In 1973, the Endangered Species Act (ESA) was passed. This enabled the Dept. of Commerce and Dept. of the…...

Deforestation is a very controversial issue, and perhaps some people do not see how badly deforestation if affecting humanity. Deforestation results in a lot of greenhouse gas emissions; in fact deforestation in the Amazon rainforest located in Brazil causes about 15% of the world'sgreenhouse gas emissions (Tollefson, 2011). Of course deforestation is not something that can be stopped immediately, it requires time and effort. The fact that deforestation is such a huge problem is because humans have the tendency to…...

A drone is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) or uncrewed aerial vehicle that flies without a human pilot onboard. The word DRONE stands for “Dynamic Remotely Operated Navigation Equipment”. It is capable of controlled, sustained level flight and is powered by a jet.

AbstractThe economic world today is largely dependent on fossil fuels, particularly crude oil (often known as petroleum). It refers to naturally occurring oil that is produced from hydrocarbons and other substances present in small quantities. It can be found underneath the crust of the earth trapped between the layers of impervious rocks, along with natural gas and water. There have been numerous theories surrounding the formation of crude oil, of which the Organic Theory is most commonly believed and suggests…...

Could be satellites, imaging artifacts, interacting galaxies, lensed objects or other unexpected entities. Machine learning is broadly split into supervised and unsupervised algorithms. Supervised algorithms deal with labelled data. In the context of outlier detection this requires a dataset where the outliers are known beforehand so a model can be generated to detect outliers in novel data. We do not have this information, and as a result are forced to use unsupervised algorithms. There exist a number of unsupervised outlier detection…...

Stihl is a manufacturer of many power tools; they began in 1920’s when founder Andereas Stihl saw people in the forest cutting down trees and chopping them up with axes so they can haul them to trailer to be distributed.

Tropical rainforests cover approximately thirty percent of the earth's land area, around 2.5 million square miles, the size of the lower 48 states, despite the fact 80,000 acres (32,000) hectares are destroyed per day for economic reasons. Tropical rainforests are biodiversity hotspots. Rainforests are carbon sinks absorbing about half the carbon dioxide humans release into the atmosphere. Continued deforestation will affect the entire world with the ecological ramifications of species extinction, loss of carbon sinks, and loss of renewable resources.…...
