 TITLE:
Forest fires in relationship with
Global Warming
 Outlines
• Introduction
• Background
• Research Questions
• Result/Discussion
• Conclusion
Before After
 Amazon Rain Forest
• The Amazon Biome spans approximately 6.7 million square kilometers, which is

twice the size of India. The basin is shared by eight countries (Brazil, Bolivia, Peru,

Ecuador, Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana and Suriname), as well as the overseas

territory of French Guiana. Approximately 60% of the Amazon Basin is located

within Brazil.

• Amazon rainforest, the world's largest rain forest is at the risk of getting burned out

completely. The rainforest, which contributes almost 20 percent of the earth’s

oxygen.

• The rainforest is home to 40 percent of the worlds tropical forest and holds 20

percent of the worlds freshwater supply. It is also home to 10 percent of the world’s

species and 40,000 plant species and around 3000 varieties of edible fruits.
• Further, the Amazon rainforest is also the natural habitat of 430 species of

mammals and millions of insect species.

Background:
• Being an environmentalist climate and weather is always our major concern.

• Tropical forests are of global importance even though they only cover around 10% of

the earths land surface they store large amount of carbon and host between ½ and 2/3

of world specie

• A forest fire is one of the major concern of environmentalist more interestingly the

amazon fire.

• There was a surge of headline news by global media of wide spread wild fires in the

amazon rainforest which smokes visible from the space engulfed cities thousands of

Km away.

• According to literature forest fires have increased due to an increase in the global

temperature.

• In such incidence along with other impacts massive CO2 emission from fires in

noticeable.
 RESEARCH QUESTION:
•The objective of the study is the analyze the following questions :
• What are the causes of forest fire?
• Natural hazards
• Global temperature increase
• Human activities
• What are the effects of forest fire?
• Emission of CO2
• Socioeconomical effects
• Effect on (vegetation cover ,soil properties ,soil chemistry)
• Advantages of forest fire.
RESULT /DISCUSSION:
 CONCLUSIONS:
• The amazon fire of 2019 highlight the need for a global solution to address
tropical rainforest loss
• As we all know amazon region and any and all tropical forests are the most
important carbon reservoirs and climate regulators so both regional political
and international commitment will be needed to address this problem
• It needs global compromises in governance and socioeconomics to save
guard humans and ecosystem worldwide the integrated forest management
policies including environment and economic regulation social integration
of stakeholders and sustainable forestry practices across the Amazonian
region .
• Monitoring and enforcing banns on human use of fire and achieving social
acceptance of such policies
• Production of artificial forest for the future .
