Here is some extra information if you need help on your essay/long answer.
The question is: Is forestry sustainable in Canada?
You will be answering "no." Your thesis (main argument of your essay) will be "Forestry is not sustainable in Canada." - that simple!
Now, you need to find two reasons why/how we are cutting down our forests (for profit $$) and not being sustainable about it. In your textbook questions, you read that "clear cutting" is the worst method but companies are still doing it. Also, companies are "spraying" forests (with glyphosate), which is not sustainable. A more sustainable way to harvest a forest is selective cutting.
This is your outline:
Introduction paragraphy
Body paragraph #1 - first reason why it's unsustainable
Body paragraph #2- second reason why it's unsustainable
Body paragraph #3- solutions to make it sustainable (example: selective cutting, more laws/rules)
Conclusion paragraph
Tips for research:
- why is clear cutting a forest bad?
-find places in Canada that are still clear cutting
**On the first page of the white booklet that has the instructions for your work- there are other good search tips**
You may find that the government of Canada is saying that there are laws in place to stop companies from being unsustainable, but just like the oil sands, no is following this rule. New Brunswick is a province that still does clear cutting and spraying. And just like the oil sands, companies from other countries are coming into Canada and cutting down our forests for profit. Our provincial and federal governments are not stopping these companies because of $$$ to our economy.
