My feeLings..

1-Imagine u are a part of a big orchard with lot of trees around.How do feel being cut?
Of course, I felt my life was over, more so if there is no successor who will replace me and my place will be destroyed just like that.

2-What will happen to all the animals which were taking shelter on you?

It destroys the natural habitat of the house and force them to relocate, sometimes they try to move into residential areas looking for food or shelter, and this can be very dangerous.

   Animals help in balancing our ecosystems, food chains and serve as food for us. So, it's really embarrassing for us to destroy animal habitats because we cut trees.Wildlife very important for natural beauty. Now a day we can see that many animals move into areas of refuge residetial them for food. There are also animals that destroy our crops.


3-What would be the surroundings like after u are cut?
 
Of course, the cut area will look empty without the green trees. In addition, soil erosion will occur because of not getting a strong grip, this will cause landslides. There is also the case that resulted in contamination of ground water if dirt flowing into drains and rivers. This is so that pollute our drinking water because the river is the main source of our drinking source.



4-What change will take place in the environment after u are cutter?

Tropical forests are home to millions of native (indigenous) people who make their livings through subsistence agriculture, hunting and gathering, or through low-impact harvesting of forest products like rubber or nuts. Deforestation in indigenous territories by loggers has triggered conflict. Forest preservation can be socially divisive, as well.National and international governments and aid agencies struggle with questions about what level of human presence, if any, is compatible with conservation goals in tropical forests, how to balance the needs of indigenous peoples with expanding rural populations and national economic development, uninhabited protected areas residents should be the highest priority of conservation efforts in tropical forests.
The changes evident on the felling of the existence of a new development. For instance, construction of new houses, schools and shops to create a site placement and some are made ​​entirely of industrial areas.

5-Message you would like to give to people who are cutting down trees.
     I think everyone should be concerned with this problem. This is because there are too many illegal deforestation by developers who cared only for their own interests. They know only profit from thinking about the consequences.The government must do something about deforestation. The authorities should  monitor these activities more frequently to take appropriate action. For example, to enforce laws, increasing fines, suspend or revoke the license for the illegal felling of treesThe government must do something about deforestation.
   Moreover,we must involved and learn more about conservation from organizations such at Rainforest Action Network, Rainforest Alliance, Wildlife Conservation Society and Conservation International.That may be hard as a forest equal to the size of 20 football or rugby fields are lost every minute. Everyone reading, complain to the government in letter/email/phone,etc.You can plant more trees and cut down fewer trees.
Cut down the trees at a slower rate and make sure you are planting new ones and regenerating the forest at the same rate of even faster than you are cutting it down.Start a recycling project in your community, if it is not already in place. Some states in the US will not accept


 6-What do u thing the use of technology in reducing and minimizing th eproblem? 
According to the FAO (2005), deforestation, mainly conversion of forests to agricultural land, continues at an alarming rate of approximately 13 million hectares per year (for the period 1990–2005).  Deforestation results in immediate release of the carbon originally stored in the trees as CO2 emissions (with small amounts of CO and CH4), particularly if the trees are burned and the slower release of emissions from the decay of organic matter.  The IPCC WGIII (2007) estimated emissions from deforestation in the 1990s to be at 5.8 GtCO2/yr.  The IPCC also notes that reducing and/or preventing deforestation is the mitigation option with the largest and most immediate carbon stock impact in the short term per hectare and per year globally as the release of carbon as emissions into the atmosphere is prevented.

The agenda item on “Reducing emissions from deforestation in developing countries and approaches to stimulate action” was first introduced into the COP agenda at its eleventh session in Montreal (December 2005).  The governments of Papua New Guinea and Costa Rica, supported by 8 other Parties, through their submission FCCC/CP/2005/MISC.1, requested for this issue to be taken up on the agenda.  This proposal received wide support from Parties and there was general agreement on the importance of the issue in the context of climate change mitigation, particularly in light of the large contribution of emissions from deforestation in developing countries to global greenhouse gas emissions.  The COP established a contact group on this item which drafted conclusions on initiating a process to address the issue of reducing emissions from deforestation. 

 7-In your opinoin,blog is able to stimulate awareness among community. Eloborate
In my own Opinion blog we want to stimulate debate on environmental issues and discuss how we can all make a positive contribution towards the pursuit of an ecologically sustainable future. Besides helping you to find green, fair trade, organic and ethical provider.Moreover, blog will able to dedicate to presenting pertinent information on the clean energy economy and also social enterprise whose aim is to raise awareness about global warming and climate change.

Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday in English)in New Orleans Louisian, is a Carnival celebration well-known throughout the world.The New Orleans Carnival season, with roots in preparing for the start of the Christian season of Lents, starts after Twelfth Night, on Epiphany (January 6). It is a season of parades, bals (some of them masquerade), and king cake parties. It has traditionally been part of the winter social season; at one time "coming out" parties for young women at débutante balls were timed for this season.Celebrations are concentrated for about two weeks before and through Fat Tuesday (Mardi Gras in French), the day before Ash Wednesday. Usually there is one major parade each day (weather permitting); many days have several large parades. The largest and most elaborate parades take place the last five days of the season. In the final week of Carnival, many events large and small occur throughout New Orleans and surrounding communities.The parades in New Orleans are organized by Carnival krewes. Krewe float riders toss throws to the crowds; the most common throws are strings of plastic colorful beads, doubloons (aluminum or wooden dollar-sized coins usually impressed with a krewe logo), decorated plastic throw cups, and small inexpensive toys. Major krewes follow the same parade schedule and route each year. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Orleans_Mardi_Gras

Fasching-Bavaria’s version of carnival kicked off today with the Fasching parade. Like its Brazilian counterpart, it’s filled with high spirits, more than 100 balls (from the classical evening dress to the colorful costume), and enough alcohol to fuel a mini-Octoberfest. Unlike it’s Brazilian counterparts, you see much less sunshine, tanned skin, and Samba dancing. Many events lead up to “Mad Munich” on Feb. 22nd – 23rd, and Shrove Tuesday on Feb. 24th. During each of these events, the Viktualienmarkt becomes party central – with thousands of people, and stages with live music litter the Altstadt – including Marienplatz, Odeonsplatz, and Karlsplatz. It is the largest party in Munich after the Octoberfest. For those of you new to Munich…enjoy the party.

Obon is celebrated from the 13th to the 15th day of the 7th month of the year, which is July according to the solar calander. However, since the 7th month of the year roughly coincides with August rather than July according to the formerly used lunar calander, Obon is still celebrated in mid August in many regions of Japan, while it is celebrated in mid July in other regions.
The Obon week in mid August is one of Japan's three major holiday sessons, accompanied by intensive domestic and international travel activities and increased accommodation rates.http://www.japan-  guide.com/e/e2286.html





Songkran Festival is the traditional Thai New Year celebrated on April 13th. Families and friends gather to celebrate by visiting temples, sprinkling water on Buddha images in reverence, and sprinkling water on each other's hands as an act of wishing good luck. In recent years, the tradition of sprinkling water has been interpreted by youngsters as a great excuse for a water fight, and it is not uncommon to have buckets and containers of water thrown at you by teams of merry makers in the backs of trucks as you make your way down the street - particularly in major tourist areas like Patong. http://www.phuket.com/festival/songkran.htm


Inti raymi-sands of people converge on Cuzco from other parts of the nation, South America and the world for a week long celebration marking the beginning of a new year, the Inti Raymi, the Festival of the Sun.

In the evenings, live music from the best of Peruvian musical groups draws the crowds to the Plaza de Armas for free concerts. During the preceding year, in preparation for Inti Raymi, hundreds of actors are chosen to represent historical figures. Being selected to portray the
                                                                                   SapaInca or his wife, Mama Occla, is a great
                                                                                    honor.
