This first group are what I've already included and really cover the view of mass deforestation for our commercial needs, the destruction to the landscape that this produces can be a bit scary when you see the kind of areas that can be cleared so quickly by modern machinery (the top image illustrates this best)

This next set takes a look at burning within our forests, in this country it isn't such a big issue because we don't get the massive heatwave they get in places like America and Australia which can lead to forest fires burning through hundreds of acres of woodland without much hope of stopping it. When this does happen the damage is obviously total as it burns and kills everything in its path, in some cases this isn't necessarily all bad news as it can have a rejuvenating affect on certain plant species and the majority of the wildlife that is kill tend to be the sick or old which in turn has the same effect on there population on there return. One way to defend against fire and protect the most at risk or endangered areas is to dig fire breaks as shown in the final image above, these when filled with water slow or stop the fire spreading so at least offer some protection.

It isn't all bad though as the above photo illustrates where you can see how a large area has been clear but so after replanted, this does make the forestry industry sustainable but the effect it has on the local wildlife and the natural balance of the woodland take much longer to recover meaning some species might not ever return at all when lost.
When it comes down to it we really seem to have to live with the fact that woodland will be cut down as it has throughout time for use in our lifestyles but what we need to learn how to do is manage the impact that it has so that we don't effect the natural balance anymore then we have to. Its good that we now in this country tend to replant as we go or only take the minim need but its more of a problem in other countries where this awareness isn't so prolific meaning many just take more and more from there woodlands with the seeming naivety that there will always be more and that it doesn't have an impact on the natural world around them.
