DAV Public School Global Forest Change Presentation ASSIGNMENT: Develop a creative way of showing what you learned (virtual or poster display,
PowerPoint/Google Slides presentation, video, etc.) and present their findings to the rest of the
class. Week One: Chapter 11 Forestry
? Look at notes and material covered in Chapter 11. Use the Chapter 11 slides posted on
PhoenixNet. Use the questions below each section to guide you for the main ideas.
Section 1: Resource Management
? How can we manage resources sustainably and responsibly?
? What are the types of management approaches?
Section 2: Why are forests important?
? How can we measure the value of a forest?
? What is deforestation and why should we care?
? What are the three types of deforestation?
Section 3: Forest Management
? How did National Parks begin?
? How can we care for our parks?
? View ?Why Wildfires are Necessary?. Answer Questions on PhoenixNet. Make sure you
submit them directly or via attachment. This will be graded for correctness.
Mini-project
PURPOSE: To explore global deforestation and its causes and consequences and consider
solutions that do more good and less harm for all.
PROCEDURE
Go the website Global Forest Change:
http://earthenginepartners.appspot.com/science-2013-global-forest
**If this website is blocked for you, then you can use maps of the forest ecosystems such as the
one shown below and independent research to complete the tasks.
Change the dropdown menu from “Loss/Extent/Gain” to “Forest cover loss 2000-2018.” Global
deforestation over the past 18 years will now be shown in red.
? Identify three areas of the world that have an especially high level of deforestation.
? Find the country/region where you currently live. What is the deforestation profile of this
country/region?
? Find the country/region where you grew up (or the country/region where your ancestors
came from). What is the deforestation profile of this country/region?
? Change the dropdown menu “Example locations” to a location of your choice, and then
click “zoom to area” to explore closer.
After exploring the website, choose an area of the world with high deforestation (either chosen
from the “example locations,” or found through independent research) and conduct research
about deforestation in that area.
Questions:
• What are the main causes of deforestation in this region?
• Who benefits from this deforestation? How do they benefit?
• What are the negative consequences of deforestation? For people? For animals? For the
environment?
• Are the trees being replanted? What types of trees? Is the forest being replanted as a diverse
ecosystem, as a monoculture with very little diversity? Something else?
ASSIGNMENT: ?Develop a creative way of showing what you learned (virtual or poster display,
PowerPoint/Google Slides presentation, video, etc.) and present their findings to the rest of the
class.
In your presentation include answers to ?questions ?above plus:
? What do you think should be done about deforestation?
? What are possible solutions to deforestation that include benefits for people without the
negative effects for people, animals, and the environment?
? What are some alternatives to deforestation?
? What are some possible actions that people can take, both in their daily lives and for
their local and global communities, that reduce deforestation and promote humane and
sustainable alternatives?
