What is?
Deforestation

is when humans remove

or clear large areas of forest.
Examples of deforestation include
conversion of forestland to farms,
ranches, or urban use.
Since the industrial age, about half of
world's original forests have been
destroyed and millions of animals and
living things have been endangered.

 Despite

the improvements in education,

information and general awareness of
the importance of forests, deforestation
has not reduced much, and there are
still many more communities and
individuals who still destroy forest lands
for personal gains.

Why the humans clear forest

lands?
Deforestation

occurs for many reasons:

Trees are cut down to be used or sold as
fuel or timber.
Community building or farms or
livestock activities.
Personal interest.
illegal mining.

Why not the humans clear

forest lands?
Deforestation

is a contributor to global

warming.
As one of the major causes of the
enhancedgreenhouse effect.
The water cycle is also affected by
deforestation.
Deforestation reduces the content of
water in the soil.

 The

water cycle is also affected by

deforestation.
Cause of soil erosion

CONCLUSIONS
Forests

are important to humans, as it

provides many benefits such as:
regulating the water cycle, transform
CO2 into oxygen, the reduction
increases global warming.
For these reasons, we must take care to
avoid cutting more trees irresponsibly,
as befitting only a few people and
damage nature
