Dam Projects in Southeast Asia
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing the Asian determination to build large dams even after the rest of the world has abandoned them as not being beneficial. Not only are they incredibly expensive to build, they also have environmental and social costs that previously had not been recognized. All of Southeast Asia seems to be determined, however; China's Three Gorges project will be the world's most costly. The paper uses the example of Egypt's Aswan High Dam as well.

Deforestation Of Amazonia, Madagascar And Indonesia: Loss Of Biodiversity
[ send me this paper ]
8 pages in length. There can be no argument against the fact that tropical forests give life to the entities who flourish within its protective cover. The effects of deforestation and logging upon indigenous populations comes in many forms, including issues of air quality, food supply, shelter, protection from predators, habitat, population and climate concerns. Inasmuch as man has overpopulated himself right out of having a sufficient amount of supplies upon which to exist, he has taken to infiltrating some of the most delicate and precarious of regions – such as Amazonia, Madagascar and Indonesia – and inevitably butchering them beyond recognition. Those who are left behind to suffer the consequences of lost biodiversity are the inhabitants who are hard pressed to adapt to any other form of environment. Bibliography lists 12 sources.
