Using Forests Wisely and Community Conservation.

Help pl Summarize the scientific information that leads to conservation in each of the articles.

2. What social issues affected the problem or its solution in each of the stories?

3. How did economics delay scientists' first attempts for conservation in each story?

4. Describe the political actions that led to successful conservation in both stories.

Using Forests Wisely:

In "Using Forests Wisely," we learn about how people are cutting trees at an alarming rate. This is extremely worrying for two reasons: first, because the trees of the world support four-fifths of all land species, and because they also support a quarter of the population of the world. Trees are also important for obtaining oxygen.

Cutting down trees can also have important business and economic implications. A lack of trees would mean that products such as paper owuld become more expensive. It would also mean that less resources would be available for industries. However, on the other hand, trees need to be cut in order for us to produce a great variety of materials. Moreover, trees need to be cut in order to make room for houses and other developments. These economic concerns delayed scientists' first attempts for conservation.

Community Conservation:

In "Community Conservation," we learn about the destruction of the forests where gorillas live. People in regions where gorilla live have to make use of these habitats because they need land for farming and housing.

Gorillas are not only affected by the destruction of their habitats, but also by the actions of poachers, who hunt them for their skin and fur.

The annihilation of gorillas can have many negative effects to society. Less gorillas in certain regions such as Rwanda, Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo can mean less tourism. This would affect the livelihood of the villagers in the region, as they will receive less profits.

This is the main reason why the numbers of gorillas are increasing. People have realized that gorillas are extremely important to the region because of the tourists who visit them and the revenue that comes from such tourists.
