woods

The article which I read today concerned forests in Africa. The author, Robert Nasi, wrote about five different kinds of woods you can run upon in Africa and also about problems that affect all life there. This text showed how diverse nature in Africa, the continent that people mainly associate with deserts and dull landscape, really is. Although descriptions of those places weren’t interesting to me, I appreciate their beauty. Presented forests differ from each other significantly but all of them face dangers coming mostly from human. We cut trees for wood, oil (for example argan trees growing in Maroco are cut mainly to produce argan oil), and to build houses or factories. There are also other factors, like climate change, that negatively affect African forest. As an result more carbon dioxide is transferred into our atmosphere. I suspect that not only our “global environment” is affected but animals living in those forests are. They loose their natural habitats and slowly die because of our actions. https://theconversation.com/discovering-the-forest-wonders-of-africa-and-the-threats-they-face-179313
