FUN FACT


5/108

IMPORTANCE OF FOREST

Forest Combat the greenhouse effect

Clean the air

Trees provide oxygen

Save water

Prevent water pollution

Prevent soil erosion

Ultra-violet rays shield

Provide food

Create economic opportunities


6/108

Combat the greenhouse effect


7/108

Trees combat the greenhouse effect

Global warming is the result of excess greenhousegases, created by burning fossil fuels and destroyingtropical rainforests.

Heat from the sun, reflected back from the earth, is

trapped in this thickening layer of gases, causing globaltemperatures to rise.

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a major greenhouse gas. Treesabsorb CO2, removing and storing the carbon whilereleasing the oxygen back into the air.

In one year, an acre of mature trees absorbs theamount of CO2 produced when you drive your car26,000 miles.


8/108

Trees clean the air


9/108

Trees clean the air

Trees absorb odors and pollutant gases

(nitrogen oxides, ammonia, sulfur dioxide and

ozone) and filter particulates out of the air by

trapping them on their leaves and bark.


10/108



11/108


In one year an acre of mature trees can

provide enough oxygen for 18 people.


12/108

Trees save water


13/108

Trees save water

Shade from trees slows water evaporation

from thirsty lawns. Most newly planted trees

need only fifteen gallons of water a week. As

trees transpire, they increase atmosphericmoisture.


14/108

Trees help prevent water pollution


15/108

Trees help prevent water pollution

Trees reduce runoff by breaking rainfall thus

allowing the water to flow down the trunk and

into the earth below the tree.

This prevents storm water from carrying

pollutants to the ocean.

When mulched, trees act like a sponge that

filters this water naturally and uses it to

recharge groundwater supplies.


16/108

Trees help prevent soil erosion


17/108

Trees help prevent soil erosion

On hillsides or stream slopes, trees slow

runoff and hold soil in place.


18/108

Trees shield children from ultra-violet

rays


19/108

Trees shield children from ultra-violet

rays

Skin cancer is the most common form of

cancer in the United States.

Trees reduce UV-B exposure by about 50

percent, thus providing protection to children

on school campuses and playgrounds - where

children spend hours outdoors.


20/108

Trees provide food


21/108

Trees provide food

An apple tree can yield up to 15-20 bushels of

fruit per year and can be planted on the

tiniest urban lot.

Aside from fruit for humans, trees provide

food for birds and wildlife.


22/108

Trees create economic opportunities


23/108

Trees create economic opportunities

Fruit harvested from community orchards canbe sold, thus providing income.

Small business opportunities in green waste

management and landscaping arise whencities value mulching and its water-savingqualities.

Vocational training for youth interested ingreen jobs is also a great way to developeconomic opportunities from trees

MAJOR IMPORTANCES OF FOREST


25/108

MAJOR IMPORTANCES OF FOREST

All types of forest have a distinctive ability to absorbcarbon dioxide, evaporative cooling, and lightabsorption.

Based on the diagram, tropical rainforest andtemperate forest absorb the strongest carbon dioxide.

Although tropical rainforest absorb the weakestsunlight, it gives the strongest evaporative coolant.

Not that if the tropical rainforest is a dominant type offorest, other types of forest is a waste, but the latterhave their own roles which complement theirrespective climate


26/108

What is Tropical Rainforest?


27/108

TROPICAL RAINFOREST

Tropical rainforests are a type of tropical climate in whichthere is no dry season

Tropical rainforest climates have no pronounced summeror winter; it is typically hot and wet throughout the year

A tropical rainforest climate is commonly found in SoutheastAsia, Central Africa and South America


28/108

TROPICAL RAINFOREST

Only found in Asia, Australia, Africa, SouthAmerica, Central America, Mexico and onmany of the Pacific Islands.

Placed roughly within28 degrees north or

south of the equator.

About 80% of the world's biodiversity arefound in tropical rainforests.

The fingerprint

The rainforest is humid. Tall, broad-leavedevergreen trees are the dominant plants,forming a leafy canopy over the forest floor.

INTRODUCTION

The country has a land area of 32.860

000 ha, of which around 54% (19.22

ha) is covered with forests.

IMPORTANCE OF PRACTICING SUSTAINABILITY


32/108

TROPICAL RAINFOREST

In the early 1960s, global rainforests

spread over 11% of earth's land mass,

nowadays the remaining rainforests

altogether cover some 6 to 7 percent of it,as of 2014.

Deforestation is

the permanentdestruction offorests in order to

make the landavailable for other

uses.

45/108

Loss of Species


46/108

Loss of Species

Seventy percent of the worlds plants andanimals live in forests and are losing theirhabitats to deforestation.

Loss of habitat can lead to species extinction. This is not only a biodiversity tragedy but also

has negative consequences for medicinalresearch and local populations who rely onthe animals and plants in the forests forhunting and medicine.


47/108

Loss of Species

By 2020, almost half of all mammals and a quarter ofall birds in Malaysia will face extinction.

According to a 1996 report entitled Capacity Buildingand Strengthening of the Protected Areas System in

Peninsular Malaysia: A Masterplan, the number ofthreatened animals on the peninsula tripled between1986 and 1996, reaching 38 species, which is 18% of allmammals.

If that rate continues, by 2020, the number ofthreatened animals will reach more than 40%. And wehave only 286 types of mammals.


48/108

Loss of Species

At the last count made by the International Union forthe Conservation of Nature in 1994, there are 15,000 species of flowering plants,

286 species of mammals

over 150,000 species of invertebrates, over 1,000 species of butterflies

12,000 species of moths

700 species of birds

300 species of reptiles

165 species of amphibians, 300 species of freshwater fish,and

4,000 species of marine creatures.


49/108

Loss of Species

If that rate continues, by 2020, the number of threatened animalswill reach more than 40%. And we have only 286 types of mammals.

The number of threatened animals on the peninsula tripled between1986 and 1996, reaching 38 species, which is 18% of all mammals.

By 2020, almost half of all mammals and a quarter of all birds inMalaysia will face extinction.

Carbon Emission


51/108

Carbon Emission

Healthy forests help absorb greenhouse gasses andcarbon emissions that are caused by human activitiesand contribute to global climate change.

Without trees, more carbon and greenhouse gasses

enter the atmosphere. To make matters worse, trees actually become carbonsources when they are cut, burned, or otherwiseremoved.

Tropical forests hold more than 210 gigatons ofcarbon, and deforestation represents around 15percent of greenhouse gas emissions, according to theWWF.


52/108

Carbon Emission


53/108

The diagram shows the global carbonaccumulation from 1960 to 2010 in billions ofmetric tons

The purple shade shows total carbonemissions by human activities by 1959

Red shows about half of the carbonaccumulates in the atmosphere

The lowest part, blue shade shows the carbonremoved naturally


54/108

Water Cycle


55/108

Water Cycle

Trees play an important part in the water

cycle, grounding the water in their roots and

releasing it into the atmosphere.

In the Amazon, more than half the water inthe ecosystem is held within the plants.

Without the plants, the climate may become

dryer.


56/108

Soil Erosion


57/108

Soil Erosion

Without tree roots to anchor the soil and withincreased exposure to sun, the soil can dry out,leading to problems like increased flooding andinability to farm.

The WWF states that scientists estimate that athird of the worlds arable land has been lost todeforestation since 1960.

Cash crops planted after clear cutting or burning

like soy, coffee, and palm oil can actuallyexacerbate soil erosion because their rootscannot hold onto the soil the way trees can.


58/108

Life Quality


59/108

Life Quality

Soil erosion can also lead to silt entering the

lakes, streams, and other water sources.

This can decrease local water quality,

contributing to poor health in the local

population.

Status of Water Quality Subject to Sand Mining inKelantan River, Kelantan

Kelantan Rivers case study revealed that total

suspended solid, turbidity and nitrate contentswere exceed the Malaysian Interim NationalWater Quality Standard (INWQS) range

One of the points of study revealed that extreme

high contents of total suspended solid andturbidity had caused the poor and stressfulcondition for the aquatic life in Kelantan River


64/108

Tanjung Piai Erosion Problem

Tg Piai is known as The Southernmost Tip

Mainland Asia

Due to erosion caused by the presence of

strong current waves, oil and grease saw dust,sand, and waste, Tg Piai is eroding by 100 m

per 10 years, which is equivalent to 10 m per

year!
