THIS WEEK’S TOPIC: Degradation and Fragmentation
ABOUT THIS WEEK’S EPISODE:
Degradation is the deterioration in the density or structure of vegetation cover or species composition, resulting from the removal of plants and trees important in the life cycle of other species, from erosion, and from other adverse changes in the local environment. Degradation is caused by selective logging and by not replanting artificial or regenerating natural forests. Between 1977 and 1993, the rate of logging in African rose over thirty-four percent, compared with only nineteen percent globally.
Forest fragmentation arises from new constructions and other forms of human intrusions in forest areas with negative impact on landscape pattern and ecosystem. Some of the studies conducted between 1970 and 2005 provide an account of negative impact of deforestation in Bas-Congo province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda and Burundi, and are put in a regional, continental and global perspective.
Join us this week as we discuss the role of degradation and fragmentation in regards to the importance of forest preservation versus the importance of new development constructions, as well as the role of local populations, the application of ecological principles, the morale of governments, and sustainable human survival pattern analysis.
