Archives Headlines Printer Friendly Version E-Mail This Article Published on Saturday, July 5, 2003 by the lndependent/UK Entire Rainforests Set to Disappear in Next Decade by Marie Woolf More than 23 million acres of the world's forests - enough to cover the whole of Scotland - are disappearing each year because of logging, mining and land clearance for agriculture. The scale of deforestation is so great that some countries, such as Indonesia, could lose entire rainforests in the next 10 years. The appetite for wood for furniture, floors and building in Europe and North America is shrinking the world's forests at a rate of 2.4 per cent every 10 years, official figures show. Hilary Benn, an International Development minister, who released the United Nations statistics, said that they did not take into account deforestation caused by "trade in illegal timber". According to the UN figures showing the depletion of forests between 1990 and 2000, the worst-affected country was Haiti, which lost 5.7 per cent of its stock in that period. Saint Lucia's forestry was eroded by 4.9 per cent and El Salvador's by 4.6 per cent. Other big losers included Micronesia (4.5 per cent), Comoros (4.3 per cent) and Rwanda (3.9 per cent). The habitats of the orang-utan, bonobo ape and lowland gorilla are under threat and the world's rarest creatures, including the Sumatran tiger and rhino, are being forced to retreat into Indonesia's ever- shrinking forests.

What do you picture when you hear the term rainforests? Do you think of a hot, steamy, wet area with lots of trees? Let's learn about rainforests! What is a rainforest? There are two types of rainforests, tropical and temperate. Tropical rainforests are forests that receive more than 80 inches of rain a year. Some rainforests receive as much as 200-400 inches of rain a year! Rainforests also have large amounts of humidity, or water vapor in the air. Temperate rainforests are forests that have distinct seasons and moderate climate. The rain occurs evenly throughout the year. Look at the chart below to compare tropical and temperate rainforests. Rainforests Tropical Temperate Amount of rain About 200" - 400" rain per year About 100" of rain per year Types of leaves Broadleaf Needle Number of tree species Many (hundreds of species) Few (10 - 20 species) Temperature ºC to 25 ºC (stays constant) Ranges -30 ºC to 30 ºC Endangered YES!

172. McDonalds: Did You Know? No.1 It has been said that McDonald s is involved withthe destruction of rainforests of Central and South America in order to raise cattle for hamburgers. http://www.mcspotlight.org/company/publications/mcfact_card1.html

WARNING - the information on this page is company propaganda, produced to persuade you to buy more of McDonald's products. Parts of it may be deliberately misleading. It has been said that McDonald's is involved withthe destruction of rainforests of Central and South America in order to raise cattle for hamburgers. LETS PUT THE RECORD STRAIGHT. NOWHERE IN THE WORLD DOES McDONALD'S USE OF BEEF THREATEN OR REMOTELY INVOLVE THE TROPICAL RAINFORESTS. In the UK McDonald's uses 100% EC produced beef, in Canada they use 100% Canadian beef, in the United States they use 100% US beef. McDonald's restaurants in Central and South America (Argentina, Brazil, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Mexico, Panama and Venezuela) only use suppliers who document that their beef has come from long established cattle ranches - not rainforest land.. It is known that rainforest destruction threatens the well-being of the environment. McDONALD'S HAS NO PART OF IT. The Company will continue to monitor and adapt policies and practices as necessary to protect the global environment on which we all depend.

EUROPE: AUSTRALIA: JAPAN: Team I-III US MEMBERS: Join and Save! EUROPE: AUSTRALIA: JAPAN: LAST UPDATE: 07-Jun-2004 Atherton Tablelands, Queensland, Australia - For three years, Earthwatch teams helping Drs. David Westcott and Andrew Dennis CSIRO Tropical Forest Research Center ) have been investigating seed dispersal by diverse fruit-eating animals in forest fragments. They have collected enough data on 17 species, from cassowaries to musky rat-kangaroos, to build models of seed dispersal. Now Westcott and Dennis are expanding their research to a wider range of pristine and altered habitats, across the fragmented landscape, to explore how fragmentation is changing forest dynamics. You will use radiotelemetry to monitor the movements of tagged, fruit-eating birds and mammals and observe their foraging and fruit-processing behavior both in the field and in captive settings. Animals you will work with may include cassowaries, spectacled flying foxes, colorful fruit-doves, bowerbirds, and musky rat-kangaroos (the smallest, most primitive kangaroo). You will survey the abundance of dispersers and the fruit production of trees along transects for comparison between continuous forest areas and forest fragments. The resulting data will be used by forest managers to predict long-term consequences of forest fragmentation and species decline.

Bryan saw a need to provide guests with an active tour getting them out of their hotels and showing them what St. Lucia has to offer. "Our trails are not man-made and we're not the next best thing to Disney but if you want to see St. Lucia in its raw form we can give you that. The most appealing thing about our tours is that they are real." The Rainforest Cycling Adventure gives you a unique look at St. Lucia's rural and rugged heart. You will learn about our fruits, our trees and see the island's most beautiful waterfall. Unlike the busy roads in the north of the island, you are unlikely to see any traffic here, just miles and miles of unspoiled scenery. The Soufriere 2 in 1 Tour takes you past the majestic pitons to the town of Soufriere by powerboat, you'll see the volcano, The Botanical Gardens, a working estate and cycle the Soufriere area. On the return trip we will stop for snorkeling in Anse Cochon. The 2 in 1 tour is action packed and economical with three of the island's best tours rolled into one.
