Stand for Trees

Hannah Bailey 

Did you know the more land that is being overtaken by different organizations is not increasing Climate Change, it is decreasing the amount of land we have left? Stand For Trees is a donation organization that is trying to help protect our forests from different organizations that want to use the land for crops or cattle. How the organization works is by viewers donating to a forest of their choice, the organization takes in the donation to make the forest “worth an amount of money. On the stand for tree website it states “when keeping forests standing is worth real money, suddenly there’s an alternative to cutting them down.” With the REDD+ Model, Stand For Trees is able to accomplish this. This reduces deforestation, loss of habitats, and increases the chances for endangered species to repopulate. By keeping the forests alive, we are keeping the habitats, communities, and increasing our chances against global warming.

    I believe that this website is very important especially in the social climate we are in. I strongly believe key habitats and homes for animals and indigenous people are being taken by the hands of cooperate businesses. I think the idea of taking donations and giving the donor the choice also helps them feel more involved. I also think it will also help the donor feel good because their donation is actually going to a good cause!

    The donation organization Stand for trees is something I’m familiar with and a great step forward on solving this global warming crisis. I heard even a small amount of money can be a great effort to help the problems with the decrees of tress because of deforestation. This baby trees that this organization are planting is something that the future generation is going to get their oxygen from to be able to breath. This trees are helping us, but they are also going to help build new habitats for animals. I think donation programs like this are helping us when the government doesn’t want to solve the global warming problem.

Land Loss

 Hannah Bailey  There have been posts about sea levels rising however its not just affecting the sea. The water rising is also affecting the land. There is always the conspiracy that Florida will be fully submerged. It is stated on “the travel” page that Florida could be submerged as soon as 2050. This means that section of land will become apart of the sea life ecosystem. All of the oil preserves, the towns, even maybe cars would be submerged and begin to add more pollution to the ocean. This would require the citizens on Florida to have to reside elsewhere. Around 20 square mile of land has been consumed by sea levels rising. That is equivalent to 9,680 football fields of land gone. The image shown is a demonstration of what Florida will begin to look like if we dont take action fast. It is imperative that we save Florida for the citizens, land history, and for the oceans sake.  https://www.thetravel.com/florida-underwater-soon-stats/ https://coast.noaa.gov/digitalcoast...

Land Degradation

For this weeks blog post I’ll be discussing what affects Land degradation has on the environment. Land deterioration is tne loss of the productive capacity of the soils for present and future. Land degradation is a global challenge that affects everyone through food insecurity, higher food prices, climate change, environmental hazards and loss of biodiversity services and it is all happening at a worried pace, and contributing to a dramatic decrease of productivity of croplands. Globally, about 25 percent of the total land area has been degraded. When land is degraded, soil carbon and nitrous oxide is released into the atmosphere, making land degradation one of the most important contributors to climate change. If this trend continues, 95 percent of the Earth’s land areas could become degraded by 2050. While reading the article they talked about how the Land Degradation Neutrality (LDN) is a concept that can help communities, businesses, and governments reconcile the need to increase f...

Land Reclamation

 Hannah Bailey Land Reclamation  Land is becoming more scarce as humans produce more technology and as the world wide population continues to increase. Land reclamation is "the process of creating new land from the sea." One way of doing this is by placing certain amount of big rocks and cement into a certain location in the water. To fill in between the rocks they place soil and sand until the new manmade land is at its desired height. This benefits the human race by creating land however, how does this impact our waters? How about the sea creatures? Is this damaging the environment? This does impact all of those things. In areas that use have high amount of crab and fish are seeing less and less. The underwater habitats are being destroyed. There was a reclamation project in China that was restricted for the harm against marine life. The picture shown is the progress the China project had before it was prohibited.  https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/earth-and-planetar...
