Deforestation

Deforestation means cutting and burning down forests at random. It is a threat to our environment.
Deforestation is now a global problem as many countries are destroying their forest land for cultivation
and living.

There are many reasons for the cutting down of forests. Only men are responsible. Firstly the increase in
population is the main reason for that. As the population is increasing day by day, we require more
habitation places and cultivable lands for this additional population. So, People cut trees to make houses
and destroy forests for cultivation. Secondly, we need more roads, bridges, educational institutions,
hospitals, etc. As a result, trees are being destroyed. Thirdly, we cut trees to get timber and wood for
making beautiful furniture and house. Besides, cooking food, making fires, and melting pitches are also
responsible for cutting trees.

There are many bad impacts of deforestation on the environment. Deforestation causes an increase in
carbon dioxide and global warming. Then global warming causes ecological imbalance and brings about
various natural calamities like floods, cyclones, tidal surges, sea-level rise, etc. All these terribly affect
wildlife. Deforestation is the main culprit for global warming, climate change, and ecological imbalance.

To save our environment, we must stop cutting trees and plant more trees. The government should
increase public awareness among people.

Causes and Effects of Deforestation

Deforestation, a constant threat to our environment, helps to increase the earth’s temperature.
Increasing the earth’s temperature has become a concern to worry about. Deforestation refers to
cutting or burning down forests at random.

There are various reasons for it. Firstly, the world population is increasing at a high rate and this
additional population requires more land for habitation and agricultural cultivation. Secondly, for an
increased number of people, we need more houses, roads, bridges, hospitals, educational institutions
and so on. As a result, trees and forests are cut down or living and making houses or furniture. Thirdly,
people are also cutting trees for cooking food, making fires, melting pitches and industrial purposes. So
we may say that it is men who are only responsible for deforestation.

There are many bad impacts of deforestation. Deforestation causes an increase in carbon dioxide
around the earth thus it is responsible for global warming. It also causes the extinction of wild animals
and ecological imbalance. As an impact of global warming, we face various natural calamities every year.
Global warming will cause a rise in sea levels and will submerge the lower parts of the world. It will also
decrease the human ability to grow food crops. Deforestation will ultimately endanger our environment
as well as our existence.

At present, the situation is getting worse day by day. It is high time we took steps to save our
environment. We should stop cutting trees and emphasise tree plantations. Public awareness should be
raised about the bad consequence of deforestation.
