PRESERVING FOREST
Forest are the dominant terrestrial ecosystem on earth that provide a diversity ecosystem services. Due to this matter, making the most out of the land can be seen useful especially for future generation. However, i believe that preserving forest brings more benefits to humankind because they function as climate regulator, they house million of flora and fauna, and they reduce the chance of flooding.
Firstly, preserving forest is essential because they act as climate regulator. The temperature in the forest is lower than in the city during summer because their leaves evaporate water into the air. In other words, forest help the environment to become cooler during hot season. Thus, the forest can reduce the chance of experiencing extreme climate.
Secondly, preserving forest is important because they house millions of flora and fauna. New medicines and herbs can be discovered to treat and possibly cure diseases. Thus Sheltering exotic plants and various animals can benefit researchers and those who specialize in medical fields.
Thirdly, preserving forest its critical because they reduce the chance of flooding, The roots of trees dig deep into the soil, which create space between the soil particles. This space absorbs the rain that flows from highlands. However, when the land is paved by roads, the pavement acts as plastic wrap that prevents water being absorbed. Hence, flooding.
I believe that forest preservation is more crucial than land management. managing land for maximum production can be perceived beneficial because various industries like logging and ranching can improve the country's economics. However, is it important to develop the economics while people are suffering from these industries the pollute air and produce wastes in running rivers? The occurrence of these human-induced disasters have directly form heavy rain and deadly heat waves that could kill thousand of lives.
In conclusion, preserving forest brings more benefits to humankind than managing land. It is not living luxuriously if people are constantly worried about staying healty in polluted environment, or about 'natural' disasters due to modern development.
