Deforestation: Structural Analysis of Injustice to Environment
STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS OF INJUSTICE TO ENVIRONMENT DEFORESTATION
I.Identify the problem.
Forest in our country are very rich in biodiversity. Many of our plants and animals cloud be found in the rainforests. It is due to the constant high temperature and humidity in the tropics. Unfortunately, many forests are threatened due to deforestation. The primary reason are commercial logging and cutting of trees to provide for their agriculture needs.
There are so many effects of deforestation in our country. Not only to the giant trees will be lost but also the species living in the forests disappear Some of it are the tarsiers and Philippine eagle. And we should not wonder why our country experiences consistent flashfloods and landslides. “According to the recent report of National disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council about 262,107 families have lost their homes while about 1,355 million people have been affected” Some negative consequences of deforestation also include the disruption of water cycle and climate change .During the 20th century the Philippine Forests covers almost 70% But due to massive forest exploitation, excessive annual cuts and weak reforestation efforts it dropped to less than 20%. Based on the analysis almost 9.8 million hectares of forest were lost,. If deforestation won`t be stopped there would come a time that the natural resources and biodiversity in forests will be lost. And if there would be continuous abuse of resources it is estimated then there would be no more rainforests left within 15 years.
After decades of deforestation, which has left about 3% of the original cover, forests continue to be under threat from agriculture and urbanization ,,illegal, logging ,and, forest ,fires. Sustained forest loss in the Philippines is causing severe soil erosion, and is threatening the country’s rich biodiversity. This is particularly worrying as many of the Philippines’
