Sustainable development is a concept, which ties to protect and keep the earth as it is, if not better. There is a program set up by the United Nations in order to accomplish this goal.

Another problem that this causes is that there are fewer trees to clean the air, which leads to global warming and the so-called greenhouse effect. Another major problem is that deforestation; especially in wet areas can cause serious flooding and can kill crops. With deforestation, nobody wins.
Another reason that development into natural habitats is bad is because these areas, once destroyed, loose their natural "organs"�. The soil can lose all of its nutrients, the crops that are planted in the ground can use up all of the nutrients in the soil and then there is no way that we could restore the forest to the natural state again.
However, it is important to increase the standards, which some areas of the world are...
