The 1 % of green left in Jordan is expected to go in a few years. This is not good because it is a reliable source for people. It provides warmth, healthy air, food for animals, fruits and vegetables and much more. 92% of Jordan is desert which the people can not gain back for growing anything or bringing back the healthy green environment. Like National Geographic says “as a nation’s soil goes, so does the nation”. The last 7% is land that can’t be grown.
The cause of this dismay is that people are illegally logging the trees. “Also the increase of population causes a problem” says Mahmound Jneidi because that is more people who need warmth and more people who might have livestock grazing which is also a contribution to the problem. Mahmound Jneidi also says that construction is increasing and they need wood from the forest and that is taking away a lot of the green.
The one thing that is being done about this problem is that Jordan, Syria, Iraq, and Iran are talking about agreements to combat desertification. That is one of the first steps towards helping this problem.
that was very usueful thank you
