V. READING COMPREHENSION
Recent research reveals that the degradation of agricultural soils, forests, woodlands, coastal fisheries, and
wild resources is more and more serious .The majority of the estimated costs of environmental degradation comes
from forests and natural resources are being depleted at an alarming rate. More than 50% of the original forest has
been converted to agricultural land by slash-and-burn. Despite land expansion, productivity has declined because
of soil erosion. Fish, timber, and non-timber forest product stocks are decreasing. As a result, coastal towns have
begun to experience severe water shortages. Hydropower is dropping. Wildlife populations and biodiversity are in
serious decline and many species face extinction. Poor forest management and soil degradation result in huge
economic losses. The degradation of water increase the costs and reduces the quality of both water and power. The
prospects for economic development and poverty reduction are dependent on natural resources. Natural
households rely on natural resources for their livelihoods, fisheries, and wildlife which provide protein in diets.
Urban economic activities depend on reliable hydroelectric power. However, people do not have much awareness
of protecting the environment on which their life depends.
