Myth: Deforestation in Canada is increasing. Fact: Canada’s deforestation rate is among the lowest in the world. The annual deforestation rate in Canada in 2010 was less than 0.02% of our forests and the rate has been declining for over 25 years. In 1990, 63,100 hectares were lost to deforestation and in 2014 this figure dropped to 34,200 hectares. Today, Canada’s 348 million hectares of forest lands represent about 9% of the world’s forest cover, but account for only 0.3% of global deforestation.

[@CameronKerrBocher]

Simplistic little piece on deforestation. It names some rain forest locations, which one can only conclude he is referring to present large scale deforestation. The main culprit is corporate industrial logging/ farming. These areas are being raped at unprecedented levels. European forests were decimated during the middle ages for fuel and materials without any regard for replacing what was cut. Once those forests were pretty much gone, Europeans began exploring for new sources of raw materials, and when they were discovered those areas also came under the ax to enrich the elite, and provide fuel for the peasants.Then after Jamestown, Plymouth, and other sites were established, the plunder began anew. In those days it was said a squirrel could climb a tree in Florida, and travel to the northern most settlements without ever leaving the safety of the trees..Previous cultures in north, south, and central America were not blameless or even much smarter. as they too cut down forests for similar reasons resulting in their decline when the consequences of deforestation brought on climate change, soil erosion, flooding, etc markedly decreased their ability to successfully grow enough food. That created war to expand their territories to gain more resources, and on and on and on. Great civilizations were born and died in place like Chaco Canyon Anasazi cultures, the Mississippi tribes, Central American cultures of which we are now just beginning to learn of these factors. Even the jungles of the Amazon at one time had great cultures in pre-history. Here in the US, major clear cutting still exists,without any meaningful or adequate replanting programs. A large percentage of the northwest that used to be heavily forested now consist of a strip of trees along highways where just beyond the decimation has occurred out of sight. The numbers of trees logged over the last few hundred years, and not replanted is incalculable, and in all likelihood the main cause of climate change, increased CO2 and decreased O2 for us to breath. It is long past time for the practice of deforestation for the profit of a few greedy corporate players to stop, and a meaningful world wide effort begun to replant our planet, or our society will simply and eventually go the way of the dinosaur. WE ALL KNOW BETTER. Deforestation is not a simple rain forest problem, it is worldwide, and focusing on the rain forests is a way to draw our attention away from fixing what we have allowed to already occur. .

[@CameronKerrBocher]

The major timber cutters in the US and Canada are cutting out of country for less money and regulation. I lived in the Pacifric Northwest for nearly 20 years, and watched most of it go from semi pristine to a patch along the highways. Now that the root structures are gone, the slides become more frequent and soil erosion muddies up creeks, and then rivers. Its an unfolding man made catastrophe.

Knowledge From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia For other uses, see Knowledge (disambiguation). Knowledge is a familiarity, awareness or understanding of someone or something, such as facts, information, descriptions, or skills, which is acquired through experience or education by perceiving, discovering, or learning. Knowledge can refer to a theoretical or practical understanding of a subject. It can be implicit (as with practical skill or expertise) or explicit (as with the theoretical understanding of a subject); it can be more or less formal or systematic.[1] In philosophy, the study of knowledge is called epistemology; the philosopher Plato famously defined knowledge as "justified true belief", though this definition is now agreed by most analytic philosophers to be problematic because of the Gettier problems. However, several definitions of knowledge and theories to explain it exist. Knowledge acquisition involves complex cognitive processes: perception, communication, and reasoning;[2] while knowledge is also said to be related to the capacity of acknowledgment in human beings.[3] Contents [hide] 1 Theories of knowledge 2 Communicating knowledge 3 Situated knowledge 4 Partial knowledge 5 Scientific knowledge 6 Religious meaning of knowledge 6.1 As a measure of religiosity (in sociology of religion) 7 See also 8 References 9 External links Theories of knowledge[edit] Robert Reid, Knowledge (1896). Thomas Jefferson Building, Washington, D.C. See also: Epistemology The eventual demarcation of philosophy from science was made possible by the notion that philosophy's core was "theory of knowledge," a theory distinct from the sciences because it was their foundation... Without this idea of a "theory of knowledge," it is hard to imagine what "philosophy" could have been in the age of modern science. - Richard Rorty, Philosophy and the Mirror of Nature The definition of knowledge is a matter of ongoing debate among philosophers in the field of epistemology. The classical definition, described but not ultimately endorsed by Plato,[4] specifies that a statement must meet three criteria in order to be considered knowledge: it must be justified, true, and believed. Some claim that these conditions are not sufficient, as Gettier case examples allegedly demonstrate. There are a number of alternatives proposed, including Robert Nozick's arguments for a requirement that knowledge 'tracks the truth' and Simon Blackburn's additional requirement that we do not want to say that those who meet any of these conditions 'through a defect, flaw, or failure' have knowledge. Richard Kirkham suggests that our definition of knowledge requires that the evidence for the belief necessitates its truth.[5] In contrast to this approach, Ludwig Wittgenstein observed, following Moore's paradox, that one can say "He believes it, but it isn't so," but not "He knows it, but it isn't so."[6] He goes on to argue that these do not correspond to distinct mental states, but rather to distinct ways of talking about conviction. What is different here is not the mental state of the speaker, but the activity in which they are engaged. For example, on this account, to know that the kettle is boiling is not to be in a particular state of mind, but to perform a particular task with the statement that the kettle is boiling. Wittgenstein sought to bypass the difficulty of definition by looking to the way "knowledge" is used in natural languages. He saw knowledge as a case of a family resemblance. Following this idea, "knowledge" has been reconstructed as a cluster concept that points out relevant features but that is not adequately captured by any definition.[7] Communicating knowledge[edit] Los portadores de la antorcha (The Torch-Bearers) - Sculpture by Anna Hyatt Huntington symbolizing the transmission of knowledge from one generation to the next (Ciudad Universitaria, Madrid, Spain) Symbolic representations can be used to indicate meaning and can be thought of as a dynamic process. Hence the transfer of the symbolic representation can be viewed as one ascription process whereby knowledge can be transferred. Other forms of communication include observation and imitation, verbal exchange, and audio and video recordings. Philosophers of language and semioticians construct and analyze theories of knowledge transfer or communication. While many would agree that one of the most universal and significant tools for the transfer of knowledge is writing and reading (of many kinds), argument over the usefulness of the written word exists nonetheless, with some scholars skeptical of its impact on societies. In his collection of essays Technopoly, Neil Postman demonstrates the argument against the use of writing through an excerpt from Plato's work Phaedrus (Postman, Neil (1992) Technopoly, Vintage, New York, pp 73). In this excerpt, the scholar Socrates recounts the story of Thamus, the Egyptian king and Theuth the inventor of the written word. In this story, Theuth presents his new invention "writing" to King Thamus, telling Thamus that his new invention "will improve both the wisdom and memory of the Egyptians" (Postman, Neil (1992) Technopoly, Vintage, New York, pp 74). King Thamus is skeptical of this new invention and rejects it as a tool of recollection rather than retained knowledge. He argues that the written word will infect the Egyptian people with fake knowledge as they will be able to attain facts and stories from an external source and will no longer be forced to mentally retain large quantities of knowledge themselves (Postman, Neil (1992) Technopoly, Vintage, New York,pp 74). \suggested by Sandra Harding, one which "offers a more adequate, richer, better account of a world, in order to live in it well and in critical, reflexive relation to our own as well as others' practices of domination and the unequal parts of privilege and oppression that makes up all positions."[10] This situation partially transforms science into a narrative, which Arturo Escobar explains as, "neither fictions nor supposed facts." This narrative of situation is historical textures woven of fact and fiction, and as Escobar explains further, "even the most neutral scientific domains are narratives in this sense," insisting that rather than a purpose dismissing science as a trivial matter of contingency, "it is to treat (this narrative) in the most serious way, without succumbing to its mystification as 'the truth' or to the ironic skepticism common to many critiques."[11] Haraway's argument stems from the limitations of the human perception, as well as the overemphasis of the sense of vision in science. According to Haraway, vision in science has been, "used to signify a leap out of the marked body and into a conquering gaze from nowhere." This is the "gaze that mythically inscribes all the marked bodies, that makes the unmarked category claim the power to see and not be seen, to represent while escaping representation."[10] This causes a limitation of views in the position of science itself as a potential player in the creation of knowledge, resulting in a position of "modest witness". This is what Haraway terms a "god trick", or the aforementioned representation while escaping representation.[12] In order to avoid this, "Haraway perpetuates a tradition of thought which emphasizes the importance of the subject in terms of both ethical and political accountability".[13] Some methods of generating knowledge, such as trial and error, or learning from experience, tend to create highly situational knowledge. One of the main attributes of the scientific method is that the theories it generates are much less situational than knowledge gained by other methods.[citation needed] Situational knowledge is often embedded in language, culture, or traditions. This integration of situational knowledge is an allusion to the community, and its attempts at collecting subjective perspectives into an embodiment "of views from somewhere." [10] Knowledge generated through experience is called knowledge "a posteriori", meaning afterwards. The pure existence of a term like "a posteriori" means this also has a counterpart. In this case, that is knowledge "a priori", meaning before. The knowledge prior to any experience means that there are certain "assumptions" that one takes for granted. For example, if you are being told about a chair, it is clear to you that the chair is in space, that it is 3D. This knowledge is not knowledge that one can "forget", even someone suffering from amnesia experiences the world in 3D.[citation needed] Even though Haraway's arguments are largely based on feminist studies,[10] this idea of different worlds, as well as the skeptic stance of situated knowledge is present in the main arguments of post-structuralism. Fundamentally, both argue the contingency of knowledge on the presence of history; power, and geography, as well as the rejection of universal rules or laws or elementary structures; and the idea of power as an inherited trait of objectification.[14] Partial knowledge[edit] One discipline of epistemology focuses on partial knowledge. In most cases, it is not possible to understand an information domain exhaustively; our knowledge is always incomplete or partial. Most real problems have to be solved by taking advantage of a partial understanding of the problem context and problem data, unlike the typical math problems one might solve at school, where all data is given and one is given a complete understanding of formulas necessary to solve them.[citation needed] This idea is also present in the concept of bounded rationality which assumes that in real life situations people often have a limited amount of information and make decisions accordingly.

[@Phantom_Kraken]

Madfella Duke because the land is in use by the business and it’s not that easy to expand a rainforest. The solution is to give the land to less businesses( only necessary ones) and replace land not in use

[@Phantom_Kraken]

But you can do that in your local area like your garden,donate to tree planting charities, ask your local mp to plant trees to be in an area you’d like or if you want refuse to buy wood products from non renewable forests. As a side note if you have a garden at least one tree or multiple small ones(fruit trees included) would help a ton just think about it every house owner plants a tree that would definitely help.

[@kchlodny]

In 1989, environmentalist C.M. Peters and two colleagues stated there is economic as well as biological incentive to protecting the rainforest. One hectare in the Peruvian Amazon has been calculated to have a value of $6820 if intact forest is sustainably harvested for fruits, latex, and timber; $1000 if clear-cut for commercial timber (not sustainably harvested); or $148 if used as cattle pasture. Huge, wealthy corporations and even governments(China, USA)stay behind global deforestation, so it is fight we cannot win...Unfortunately, most people give a shit about environment, consumption only matters and each year is worse and worse. Only solution is to limitate reproduction of people with low IQ , pedophiles, terrorists. But it;s impossible - political correctness rules and today fools are favored.
