The United Nations seeks to
curb deforestation. From
1990 to 2005 the world lost
3% of its forests.
They also stressed that people
should be more aware of the
threat that deforestation is
having on the environment.
All the leaders of states
agreed on three shared
global objectives on forests,
advance sustainable forest
management, curb
deforestation and enhance
the contribution of forests to
the achievement of
international development
goals. 

There are many ways in which
deforestation is being
stopped.
The most popular is
sustainable logging. This
means for every tree that is
cut down two new ones are
planted in its place. This is
good because it will combat
global warming and with two
trees they will be producing
twice as much deforestation.
The other obvious solution is
to stop cutting down the
trees and to get the UN to
place restraining orders on
some rare trees.

•- Wildlife depletion Is the lose of
wild animals through over hunting.
Most often loss of there natural
habitat due to human expansion
of urbanization.

•a) The largest –scale killing of
animals for food, trade and
pleasure is one of the many
causes for the depletion of wildlife.
We may need to kill animals, but
we cannot do so thoughtlessly.


e) Wetlands are rich in biodiversity.
Destroying them by dumping waste or
filling them up also threatens the survival
of species.
d) A monoculture forest is a forest
created by planting a particular species
of trees for commercial reasons. Such
forests do not have the right conditions
for the survival of diverse species.
