Argentina-SFREY-FA10

PRIMARY DOCUMENTS:

1. Environmental [|Rank] Argentina ranks #1 in the Urban SO2 Concentration. The studies show that many of the countries, including Argentina, have factual information to resolve many of the environmental problems. The cause of SO2 not only harms the environment, but also the population.

2. Reducing [|Emissions] Argentina is the world's leader of setting voluntary greenhouse gas targets.

1. Argentina Environmental Time Line [|Time Line] Over the years, Argentina has become more industrialized to cause more pollution in the air, water, and on land. As Argentina has become more industrialized, the use of natural resources have lessened due to the increase in the use of technology. Large areas of forests have decreased since logging has been a main source for industry.

2. Environmental [|Solutions] There are many ways of improving the conditions of the enivronmental issues that occur now. WWF (World Wildlife Fund) has been working with Argentina to help protect the geographical features that have a great impact on the environmental state of Argentina. The solutions created by WWF contain ways to find other ways to clearing forests for the growth in agriculture. Soy is one of the main crops in Argentina that brings lots of money to Soy companies. There have been solutions to help the production in Soy in an safe way.

3. [|Deforestation] Argentina has one of the world's highest deforestation rates to cause climate change. Climate change is one of the causes of water shortages to help produce more trees. The hills and mountains of Argentina are the main source of where deforestation is occurring because of the vast amount of trees.
