The world’s forests are facing increasing pressure which, if left unchecked, will threaten the health of many industries, economies, nations, and lives. The development of an international fund to help developing countries implement useful conservation techniques in forest protection is the best way to protect the world’s forests and hopefully reverse negative trends that imperil our forests. Using the internationally established forest protection fund to protect forest agriculture is perhaps the most important initiative. Dispersing these funds to governments, land owners, and farmers will allow them to resist intrusions by the logging industry, oil companies, and property developers who are after their land. This is a very specific initiative that will help agricultural areas from being developed into environmentally damaging industries and ensure that agricultural farm use is uninterrupted. A second use of this protection fund could be used to develop the economies of villages and tribal communities located in forest areas. By parceling out funds to provide villagers and tribal residents of forests with a stipend will help these people continue their way of life and resist pressure to convert their forest land to the above mentioned industries. Providing living stipends and other financial aid to forest residents will help people afford education, health services, and nutritional aid so that they are less tempted to resort to destructive or exploitative forest practices to make a living. Much of the global concern with deforestation focuses on the alarming loss of biodiversity. Humans use thousands of species of plants and animals on a daily basis for food, shelter, clothing and medicinal needs. Deforestation threatens species that humans rely on for these essential services. Using the international fund to help governments and people establish protected forest areas is the best way to maintain valuable forest biodiversity and protect species from exploitation, endangerment and extinction.
Both the lecture and the article agree that as civilization developed, deforestation is a serious topic internationally, and take that as their starting point. The article proposes a solution saying that raising an international fund to protect forest will be helpful, while the lecture, however, strongly disagree this point raised by the article with the following reasons.
First, the lecture refutes the article by suggesting that providing funds for farmers to stop developing agriculture and logging is impractical because the global population, which needs a tremendous amount of food and wood, is still growing instead of slowing down. In other words, the lecture is indicating that those development on agriculture and logging is irreplicable by other solutions for human if we still consume the same way as we used to, which means that it’s simply impossible to stop companies to develop forest by just providing international fund.
Secondly, the lecture opposes the point hold by the article about providing stipends to forest dwellers can stop deforestation and increase the plant diversity by stating the fact that those funds are likely to go to forest owners, which in most cases are governments rather than individual citizens. Besides, based on the previous point, the lecture adds on and clarifies that there’s no guaranty that people who received the fund will really grow plants that are environmentally friendly instead of growing commercial crops that they can make profit out of.
