Hey guys This is the important topic to everyone so read this page completely !!!
A study published last year by the US Forest Service found that we lost 36 million trees annually from urban and rural communities over a five-year period. That's a 1% drop from 2009 to 2014.
If we continue on this path, "cities will become warmer, more polluted and generally more unhealthy for inhabitants," said David Nowak, a senior US Forest Service scientist and co-author of the study.
Nowak says there are many reasons our tree canopy is declining, including hurricanes, tornadoes, fires, insects and disease. But the one reason for tree loss that humans can control is sensible development.
"We see the tree cover being swapped out for impervious cover, which means when we look at the photographs, what was there is now replaced with a parking lot or a building," Nowak said.
More than 80% of the US population lives in urban areas, and most Americans live in forested regions along the East and West coasts, Nowak says.
"Every time we put a road down, we put a building and we cut a tree or add a tree, it not only affects that site, it affects the region."
The study placed a value on tree loss based on trees' role in air pollution removal and energy conservation.
Plan to grow trees :
Nowak says there's a downside to trees too, such as pollen allergies or large falling branches in storms, "and people don't like raking leaves." But, he says, there are ways cities and counties can manage trees to help communities thrive. "You can't just say 'we're not going to have forests.' We might as well manage and work with the trees."
"You don't want a tree in the middle of a baseball field. It's very difficult to play sports if you have trees in the way. Or trees in the middle of freeways."
Nowak says we can design and manage tree canopies in our cities to help "affect the air, to affect the water, to affect our well-being."
Urban forests especially need our help to replace fallen trees. Unlike rural areas, it is very difficult for trees to repopulate themselves in a city environment with so much pavement and asphalt.
California fire:
At more than 269,000 acres, it is now the eighth-largest fire in the fire attack history ,more than one hundred people were dead by this California fire.
Because of this also the rate of deforestation is increased. In this co-vid pandemic this fire attack makes the California's people disappointing.
Amazon forest fire 2020:
Last year there is a heavy loss of trees and life which/who lives in the forest due to the forest fire. In 2019 Amazon forest get fires in January and that forest fire continued up to October 2019.Like that now in 2020 again it is get fires in Amazon forest but some difference this that is every year the fire will started by the natural occurrences but now the fire is get started by some humans physical activity that is they guessed that someone fired a matchstick near and that causes the beginning of this forest fire.
