Deforestation is a global crisis, and “Deforestation Impact” comprehensively analyzes its wide-ranging consequences on biodiversity, climate regulation, and global ecosystems. The book highlights how forest destruction leads to habitat fragmentation and species extinction, unraveling ecological webs. It also examines the critical role forests play in climate regulation, illustrating how deforestation increases greenhouse gas emissions and intensifies global warming by disrupting carbon cycles.
The book traces the history of deforestation and examines its underlying social and economic drivers.
Structured to first introduce forest ecology and the drivers of deforestation, it systematically explores the major areas of impact with case studies and scientific evidence. It adopts a systems-thinking approach, emphasizing the interconnectedness of ecological, social, and economic factors, and offers pragmatic perspectives on conservation strategies.
The book progresses through chapters that detail the impact on biodiversity, climate change, and ecosystem disruption, offering strategies for sustainable forest management.
By presenting scientific data, ecological surveys, and climate modeling projections, “Deforestation Impact” provides a crucial resource for understanding and addressing this urgent global issue.
