This article provides information on forest restoration by managing an ecosystems
chances of getting effected by climate change, habitat fragmentation and will be
monitored as if it was a controlled closed system.

This book looks at the effects that have happened due to government getting involved
in forest preservation. They look at Brazil and Finland and look at the pros and cons of
the laws. Brazil does a poor job while Finland leads the way with effective laws that
help the ecosystem.

This artical shows how population has boomed over the years and how it has resulted
in an increase in demand for our resources. It then speaks of the idea of sustainability
and how we should preserve rresources for the future.

This artical tackles the main points on deforestation in hot spots that have large
biomass. Specifically in the Indian Himalayas. They also show flaws in governmental
studies on biodiversity loss.

This article provides information and research about what happens when trees are
replaced with grass in the forest. It results in a rise in surface temperature as well as a
decreased rate of precipitation. With that being said, deforestation has more of an
effect as we may think.

This is a great example of how just one species can make a difference in an ecosystem.
Specifically the Wolves being reintoduced into Yellowstone National Park.
