SECTION THREE
Specific example of how humans have altered the physical geography for the industry
The company name is Kalesnikoff Lumber. It is located in Thrums, British Columbia, Canada. It is about halfway between Vancouver, BC and Calgary, Alberta. Located near the Canada, USA border. Kalesnikoff operates in an interior fertile temperate rainforest in the Kootenay region also known as the “wet-belt”. Kalesnikoff alters the physical geography by cutting down trees and forests. This leads to wildlife species deteriorating or moving to other parts of Canada. The species can become invasive to that part of Canada. This can cause the invasive animals to start taking a toll on that part of the land. They cut down the trees for more wood to make everyday things like furniture and household goods. This has an effect on the land because it deteriorates the trees in the forest. With the amount that logging companies such as Kalesnikoff are cutting down, our forests could be gone in the next hundred years or so. Trees play a role in absorbing greenhouse gases that cause global warming so by cutting trees down it speeds up the process of global warming.
