Pluto is truly a well-trained dog. Like his master Mickey, he can get into a large amount of trouble but has enough brains to escape the situation. He acts as Mickey's sidekick, best friend, conscience in some occasions, and pet.
Deforestation causes some of the worst soil erosion. Forests keep soil where it is. The root structures of trees and other plants hold it in place, the natural mulch of leaves prevents soil from being exposed to the erosive forces of wind and rain. The canopy helps soften the impact of heavy rains.
Rwanda is experiencing unusually heavy land loss and about half of Rwandaâs farm land shows evidence of modest to severe erosion. This is most evidenced in land degradation, soil erosion, a decline in soil fertility, deforestation, wetland degradation and loss of biodiversity. Key issues include deforestation due to the cutting down of trees for fuel, overgrazing, soil exhaustion, soil erosion and widespread poaching.
