Effects of Deforestation

Deforestation in Australia

As it is clearly known that the size of the forest land in Australia is not very large. The main reason behind deforestation in Australia is the cutting down of trees and forests. It is very important to note that it has become a serious problem in Australia and to also other parts of the world where the size of the forests has shrink to a lot. In Australia, much of the land had been cleared up in the last 50 years. This is a very big concern and need to be taken very seriously. What's more, there was a research conducted by the experts and they came to a final conclusion that clearance rate would increase in the following years to come. So, unless steps are taken to prevent this harmful situation things cannot get positive. It has been seen that in North Queensland, there is a problem of poor plantation and also very low in development. This situation is also found in the Eucalyptus forests as well. Well, let us have a look at some of the important causes of deforestation in Australia.  

Logging issues faces a serious problem Logging which has been the main threat to forest degradation is also a very serious problem that needs to be tackled well. Forests are being destroyed and plantation has been replacing them. There are also many flowering plants in Australia which have resulted to its extinction as well. According to estimates there is more than 20% of the extinction of the flowering plants. This can be considered as a threat to deforestation itself. It has been seen that when it comes to the size of the Australia forest, it has got just 9% of the landmass which can be called as "forest." One of the most important reasons for deforestation in Australia is fire. Fire has always been the deforestation reason in Australia. This is because it has always been a useful tool for the traditional Australian inhabitants. This is the reason of the slow rate of growth of forests in Australia. When it goes for the clearance of the forests, the ecosystem also gets suffered a lot where it gets removed. This is the reason for its very slow growth rate of forests in Australia. The government has imposed many rules and regulations to prevent cutting down of trees and forests but to of no use. Unless a strict action is taken against cutting down of forests, deforestation in Australia will continue to remain. Tracing back to the history, there were more fearful conditions in the Australian forests. Now, it is because of the change of climate as well as bio diversity that is causing the problem of deforestation in Australia. However, if there are more wars as well as violence, then it would have a very negative impact on the nature and the forest as well. Steps must be taken to stop cutting down of trees and start planting trees to maintain a healthy ecosystem in the world.
