Presentation: Wise Use of Our Resources: Deforestation

My Response:
The first thing my eyes were drawn to was the photo on the first content slide--an image of an area formerly covered by forest now looking more like filleted salmon flesh, oozing a muddy kind of "blood," like the life was draining out of it. This image was, needless to say, a bit disturbing. Even without reading it, one gets a sense of the devastation--the pictures just about say it all. I also reviewed deforestation, and, likewise, found that the pictures really told the story better than any words. I also realized that even if we were to stop clear cutting now and replace all of the trees we had cut down, the forests we have destroyed will never return to their previous splendor. Still, that doesn't mean we shouldn't try. I wish there were a bit more information on the social consequences of deforestation, as I feel that is a complex and intriguing topic. This student has provided a list of sources from which she drew her information.
