WE MUST ACT NOW. |
---|
The tropical rainforests are shrinking at an alarming rates because
of deforestation to create new agricultural lands or urban land,to provide wood for buiding and manufactering industries and there is little signs to realslow down this destruction. There an is increase awareness in the world today on the importance and role of tropical forest to the environment.Human activities such asintensive agriculture,masive deforestation and conservation of these resources and the use of peesticides are today s major threats to global diversity calling for the need to sustainably manage them. Sustainable management means making useof the available resouces without compromising that available for the future.In Cameroon the perception of these resource management differs among the variouscommunities. Some look at natural resources in their vincinity as a gift of nature which needs to explioted without restrictions. Otherscannot compromise theacquisition of wealth from the over expliotation of the resources and the environmental services that that they benefit from prudent management of these resouces. Most people are more involve with the present need than the need of the future generation,with beliefs that it cannot be destroyed. As an advocate ,it isburden for me because forest and their biological wealth protect the soil from erosion,represent habitat of millions of species of plants and animals,help moderate the climate,provide thesupply of timber and food.The problem of forest depletion in the tropicsis no longer adebate,that is why we must act now. |

To what extent are rainforests being protected in your country though? Are there any areas of concern? Or anything interesting with the way your country's government handles the protection of rainforests?
