Тропические леса в опасности.
Тропические леса – уникальное растительное сообщество, для которого характерно видовое богатство растений и животных. За недоступность, таинственность и опасности, на каждом шагу подстерегающие каждого, кто отважится сюда проникнуть, не случайно снискали этим местам у белых путешественников уважительное название “зелёного ада”. К сожалению, эта экосистема, претерпевшая меньше всего изменений за всё время существования суши, сегодня исчезает с угрожающей скоростью, и то, что создавалось природой в течение миллионов лет, человек может уничтожить в считанные десятилетия. Последствия могут стать непредсказуемыми.
Но главная опасность в том, что такой примитивный процесс расширения пахотных земель во многих экваториальных странах приобретает государственный масштаб, и экологическая ситуация резко меняется – в глубине тропических лесов всё чаще появляются обширные поля, вокруг которых растут поселения земледельцев.
Как сообщают специалисты, при нынешних темпах рубки тропических лесов в ближайшем будущем их может остаться на Земле не более трети. Опасность усугубляется тем, что во многих районах не только вырубаются крупные деревья, но полностью сводятся мелкие породы и подлесок. Так, в Малайзии бульдозеры срезают до 70% почвы, что делает невозможным возобновление растительности вообще. В некоторых странах практически отсутствует лесоохрана. На о. Суматра, например, был незаконно вырублен целый национальный парк. Под угрозой уничтожения находятся многие ценные породы деревьев.
По подсчетам английского ботаника Т. Уитмора, для поддержания древесного вида в сохранности, имея в виду генетическое разнообразие, необходимо не менее 5 тысяч отдельных его представителей, занимающих площадь, как минимум от 17 до 135 кв. км. Сокращение же площадей тропических лесов идет с такой интенсивностью, что в ряде районов они очень скоро могут приблизиться к критической.
