Since our third group member, Brian Healey, has dropped the course, I will be fact checking and proof reading Ethan Huffman’s Wikipedia Entry 2. I will be working in Ethan’s Sandbox to make any necessary edits and/or suggestions to his entry.
Ethan Huffman will be fact checking and peer reviewing my Wikipedia Entry 2. He will be working in my new sandbox, User:Gmebrie3/New Sandbox. I am eager to receive feedback on my article and welcome any suggestions.
I will be editing the article on Deforestation and Climate Change and several of its sections/subsections. When we first approached this topic I was aware of the obvious link between deforestation and climate change. However, once I started to develop the topic and as the class progressed it became even clearer just how tightly the two were tied to each other. This is a clear example of the human/environment connection as well as being tele-coupled with other systems across the globe. The effects of deforestation are felt in all sectors from agriculture to urban development supply chains. With the climate change caused by deforestation there is also a loss of ecosystem good and services which is evident through a lack of products due to over-extraction and in diminished crop yields due to soil degradation as well as loss of biodiversity and habitat. The policies and practices offered in this article are perhaps some of the most effective and efficient ways to curb climate change.
