Values of Forests

Effects of Deforestation

Deforestation Hydrosphere Geosphere Atmosphere Biosphere

Climate Change Changes in many climatic factors
(e.g. temperature and rainfall)
around the world

Forest Ecosystem . Carbon Sinks
Forests and other ecosystems with the ability to sequester carbon
. Carbon Sequestration
The process by which CO2 from the atmosphere is absorbed by plants through photosynthesis and stored as carbon in biomass and soils

IPCC Assessment Reports Vegetation and soils are estimated to trap 2.6 Gt of carbon annually

Tropical forests absorbs 1 Gt of carbon every year (40% of the total for land based absorption)

Carbon emissions resulting from land use change, mainly due to deforestation were in the vicinity of 1.6 Gt of carbon per year in the 1990s

At present, it is estimated that deforestation accounts for 20% of all the carbon released in the atmosphere

Initiatives United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC – 1992)

Kyoto Protocol – 1997

Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)

Effects of good forest management on wildlife It is projected that between now and 2050 there will be a further 38% loss in abundance of forest flora and fauna

Effects of climate change on marine turtles Possible effects of Global Warming Changes in the incubation temperature, causing the ratio of male to female hatchlings to change Affect hatch success
( % of eggs that hatch) Loss of sandy beach habitat

Leatherback turtle Dermochelys coriacea

Hawksbill turtle Eretmochelys imbricata

Green turtle Chelonia mydas

Olive Ridley Turtle Lepidochelys olivacea

Loggerhead Turtle Caretta caretta

Government & Communities

Turtle nesting beaches Paria Bay Grand Tacaribe Madamas Grande Riviere Sans Souci Mission Toco Matura Fishing Pond North Manzanilla Manzanilla Mayaro Blanchisseuse
