    David Suzuki a Canadian geneticist, author, and television producer, who has continuously advertised his environmental utopian views for years. After his family had suffered greatly from world War two he came to appreciate nature and man’s dependence on it. Conservation, according to him, is a necessity for humankind’s own survival. Through his radio and television programs, he has tried to educate everyone who isn't well versed in the topic. The text we have chosen is a twenty minute speech by David Suzuki that was presented at the 2003 Bioneers National Conference and is part of the Protecting and Restoring Nature Collection. In which he presents the idea that the economy is just a subset of ecology. Drawing on native wisdom and…

    The article is about the struggle against deforestation and all logging in the Pacific North West and against the extinction of the Spotted Owls and Yellow Striped Weaving Spiders. It illustrates that there are many rapacious farmers who do not care about the environment and maintain the continuity of organisms, which are endangered because of farmers’ brutal and selfishness activities. These farmers are working in the forest-product companies, which their primary objective is gaining easy and filthy…

    The article that can best be related with the “Ethnography of Global Connection” is the article “Sweetness and Power” by Sidney W. Mintz. The article specifies the transformation of sugar- from a luxury point to a basic modern of life. While, the article “Ethnography of Global Connection” tells that in Indonesia's rainforests the species diversities which had taken many years to be collected; were burned and also were sacrificed to erosion. So, landscape transformation started to take place. The growth of corporations seemed effective, and also violent in destroying resources.…

    Human beings are the biggest threat to the rainforest ecosystems due to the exploitative nature of our industrial society. As the NIC’s with rainforests in have begun to develop they found the economic value of the rainforests for many international markets as well as internal infrastructure; the resources available are priceless. Logging companies are granted forestry rights, usually cheaply, to harvest timber to sell abroad for furniture, houses and paper. The economic value of this income is invaluable to an industrialising country, as it is usually needed to pay off interest on debts from irresponsible lending in the 1970’s. Electrical power can be created by burning wood, thus large tracts of forests are destroyed to feed a growing demand for power by industry and people. To solve this power problem there have been many hydroelectric dams built to harvest the Amazon rivers power, for example the Tucurui hydroelectric dam built on the Tocantins River used to power the Carajas mine in Brazil.…

    However, despite all of the warnings and dangers of deforestation, it is tempting for people to argue that, “just as the U.S. and Europe have been allowed to use significant portions of their land to meet the needs of their people, so too must developing nations like Brazil be given that same opportunity” (Rothbard et al.). It is undeniable that companies and local farmers may be experiencing profitable economic opportunities from logging and/or clearing the way for agriculture and livestock, but as the number of trees that can be cut down is finite and the rapid loss of soil fertility means more land for the same amount of crops, these economic gains are not justifiable in the long run. With one estimate being that just the Amazon rainforest alone has been reduced seventeen percent in just the past fifty years, it is clear that with demands for resources going up, that this wasteful trend is not a permanent solution to countries’ problems (“The World Wildlife Foundation”). Another aspect of economies dependent on deforestation is that just as poachers illegally kill animals in protected areas for massive amounts of money, there is an incentive in these countries to perform illegal logging practices. It is unfortunate that after investigation there is, “evidence…

    Privatization of Forests

    • 1433 Words
    • 6 Pages

    There are few legal and business practices which have caused as much controversy and public outcry, as privatization of forests. Other than the Ocean, forests are maybe the most important system to sustain life on this planet. Forests regulate weather, neutralize ecosystems and sustain life to the cellular level. So why would anyone privatize forests? In a nutshell, proponents of forest privatization argue that the resources are not being fully exploited. They argue, many neighboring nations and people are living in poverty and could achieve higher level of living with appropriate resources to unlock the full potential of Forests. In the following pages, we will identify the unique legal circumstances that allow this to happen, and look the issue of Forestation more in depth.…

    Friction discloses the particularities of different collaborations that disrupt or develop processes of economic transformations that reflect on landscapes, and at the same time accentuates the role that imagination plays in recreating the wild as fields of profiteering. The title is so well chosen, that I can't even begin to write about how significant the idea of 'friction' should be in understanding the creation of new enclosures. Friction does justice to a real account (not just a romanticized version) of the huge amounts of complexities in winning and losing battles for environmental justice. The strange bedfellows, the political opportunities (expected or unexpected), that have to be seized with perfect timing, what's at stake ecologically, culturally, and financially. It exposes some Western myths of "What is the environment," “What it means to preserve it" and for whom, and establishes the mountainous regions of Indonesia in question as not simply a part of nature, but a social sphere.…

    They are home to millions of animals and are located all over the world. They contain vital medicines and supply the majority of oxygen that is found in the atmosphere. Rainforests are one of the natural wonders of the world. However, they are enticing as they produce lucrative materials, as well as containing large amounts of unclaimed spaces. Many of these temptations are too much for people as about 18 million acres of forest are cut down every year (Rinkesh). Recently, rainforests have encountered more trouble than ever, as people try to exploit the materials found within. Though many may not see the importance of rainforests in lives today, they are essential to the lives of animals existing there, as well as our own.…

    Marites Vitug (1993) narrates in her book, entitled The Politics of Logging: Power from the Forest, the possible environmental conditions that we can have if the current abusive practices which are being done to our environment and in particular to our forest continue. Moreover, Vitug (1993) also stated how the cases of deforestation in the Philippines started. She highlighted the rate of the environmental destruction that happened during the Marcos regime. After that, the actions made by the Aquino administration which served as the price that this new administration had to pay for the problems that the Marcos regime created were mentioned in the book by Vitug (1993). Finally, she also mentioned the connections and interactions between the…
