DEFORESTATION

HYPOTHESIS

Deforestation has became a big problem in the United States. Cutting down the trees takes most of the oxygen away and
will make it hard to breathe

OBJECTIVE

1. To analyze the forest cover data and estimate forest cover and the change in forest cover for the period of year
1999 to 2010.
2. To study the trends in changes in forest cover spatially.
3. Use remote sensing techniques to prepare an updated map of forest cover of Chamoli District
4. To provide high-quality services to stakeholders involved in forest and associated sectors.
5. To ensure active and appropriate transfer of knowledge on forest ecosystems and their dynamics with respect to
multiple needs of various stakeholders.
6. To provide research, development and monitoring services meeting SK forestry needs.

To support sectoral innovations.

METHOD AND MATERIAL

OBSERVATION

India’s forests now cover 701,673 sq km, or 21.34% of the country, compared to 640,819 sq km 29 years ago, according
to the India State of Forest Report, 2015, the latest available. The rise is explained by planted trees, particularly as
monocultures, which do not replace the diverse, natural forests that are permanently lost.

ANAYLSIS

Deforestation is a global phenomenon that threatens not only biodiversity but also the livelihoods of people who depend
on them. Recent global analyses indicates that this problem is growing, hence the growing need to identify the underlying
drivers in order to develop more responsive policies. We present a machine learning-based method which automatically
identifies key drivers and makes predictions from available spatial data in Swaziland during the post millennium period.
The models produced plausible results that can be used for preventive planning and policy making.

CONCLUSION/RESULT

Perhaps the Earth and all its living systems are not as fragile as we would like to think. Life on the Earth has existed for
about 3 billion years and humans have been around for 1 million of these years, which is a very small fraction of time in
geologic history. There have also been many threats to the existence of life on Earth other than human induced; the
hypothesized Snowball Earth, the extinction of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago, and several glaciations, which have all
caused the extinction of a large percentage of the living creatures each time.

SUGGESTION

1. Green Business: Green business concerns re-use and recycling.

2. Eco-forestry: Eco-forestry is a move on saving the worlds forest.

3. Law and Regulations: Due to the nature and extent of forest destruction, efforts to stop the human activities can be
complemented by laws and regulation at governmental and organizational levels.

4. Community Forestry: Community forestry is whereby local communities together with their local government and
other local organizations such as schools, corporate, and universities join hands to start localized tree planting programs
and management of their local forests.
