Summary: Environmental Impacts of Logging
The logging industry provides a huge number of raw materials for producing many products which is really useful for people. On the contrary, undeniably, this activity has several negative impacts to the environment such as losing the habitats, polluting the air and water, and causing climate change. Firstly, both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystem will disappear, in which their habitats are poisoned by erosion. Furthermore, cutting down the trees in an enormous number will pollute the air and water. Trees protect the pollution to air naturally and get rid of carbon dioxide from atmosphere when they produce oxygen. The water quality in the river also deteriorates due to the enhancing of sedimentation. Lastly, the felling of trees in large numbers causes abnormal rain cycles, flooding and dryness. The increasing of carbon dioxide emissions from some forest fires in the world also creates climate change, especially global warming.
