Description
As part of #Tezos4Nature challenge, I'm joining this great effort to spread awareness through my documents.
Deforestation due to mining is the major threat to the nature, illegal and unorganized mining leads vast area of deforestation. There will not any reclamation and revegetation in these ex-mine pits. This act directly impacts weather pattern, scarcity of ground water, landslide and habitat loss for wild animals.
It is important to emphasize that a wide range of views about nature and the severity of the current environmental crisis is highly alarming. There are issues like climate change due to Global Warming, groundwater depletion, holes in the Ozone layer, destruction of rainforests, extinction of species and sharp decline of biodiversity. Most of these alarming situations are established by human attitude and their reckless behaviour. We should realise that these environmental problems adversely affect the human population as well.
Deforestation is a particular concern in tropical rain forests because these forests are home to most of the world’s biodiversity. Take the case of the world's largest rainforest Amazon, it has been deprived of around 17% of its lush wilderness in the last 60 years, mostly due to forest fire, monoculture, mining and illegal logging. Deforestation in this region is particularly rampant near more populated areas, roads and riverine, but even remote areas have been encroached upon when valuable mahogany, minerals, and oil are discovered.
As per the report from WWF, the world's most ecologically important forest landscapes, including forest homes for orangutans, tigers, and elephants will suffer cataclysmic damage or loss (of about 80 percent) globally by 2030, Up to 420 million acres of forest could disappear between 2010 and 2030 in these "deforestation fronts" if current trends continue. The hot spots are located around the Amazon, the Atlantic Forest and Gran Chaco, Borneo, the Cerrado, Choco-Darien, the Congo Basin, East Africa, Eastern Australia, Greater Mekong, New Guinea, and Indonesia.
