DEFORESTATION
Deforestation refers to a phenomenon of permanent removal of tree
covers for various reasons. It is a man-made disaster that will provoke
natural calamities like floods and famine to occur on its own.

There are various reasons why deforestation occurs, some of which are
urbanization, agriculture, forest wood, wildlife, etc.

Yet, some selfish people have to fill their pockets. Therefore they do not even
think about it once. So, the government is trying countermeasures to avert harm
to the environment.

Deforestation can have major negative impacts on our ecosystem. From

affecting our food cycle to adding woes to global warming, the impacts of
deforestation could alter the entire dynamics of our ecology.

The main purpose of

deforestation is to increase
the land area. Also, this
land area is to set up new
industries

HARMFUL EFFECTS OF DEFORESTATION
There are many harmful effects of deforestation. Some of them are soil
erosion, global warming, a great threat to wildlife

This has a serious adverse effect on our environment. On one hand,

deforestation makes some animals homeless. Animals that survive in the
forest might go extinct with less forest. On the other hand, deforestation is
also the biggest cause of climate change around the world. It’s not like trees
shouldn’t be used for any kind of production and urbanization or
industrialization shouldn’t be done for the development, but the main
factor is to compensate for every minus done.

Through this, there will be a balancing between the reduction and

plantation which will help, to an extent, in the rectification of problems
faced by the world due to deforestation.

The carbon content in the atmosphere has considerably increased over

years due to many human activities like uncontrolled fuel combustion.

DIFFERENT CAUSES OF DEFORESTATION
overgrazing in jungles finishes recently renewed development. It makes the soil
additionally compact and invulnerable. The fertility of the soil also reduces owing
to the devastation of organic substances. Deforestation results in decreasing the
overall soil’s productivity.

It was discovered that logging accounts for about 14% of the total
deforestation and 5% is from the removal of fuelwood. Some experts have
argued that the clearing of forests is something poor people do more as a
result of them not having other alternatives.

Recurrent fires in the forest regions are one of the major reasons
for deforestation. Few incidents of fires are minor whereas the
maximum of them are huge. Lightning can cause wildfires,
especially a particular type of lightning called “hot lightning”.
Forest fires as a result of hot lightning last relatively longer.

THE ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECT OF DEFORESTATION

Effect on Soil:

Deforestation increases the erosion rate as a result of the subsequent

decrease in the quantity of cover of litter available. The litter cover serves
as a protection for the soil from all varieties of surface runoff. When
mechanized equipment and machinery are used in forestry operations,
there can be a resulting erosion increase as a result of the development of
roads in the forests.

Effect on Biodiversity:

There is a biodiversity decline due to deforestation. Deforestation can lead

to the death and extinction of a lot of species of animals and plants. The
habitat of various animals is taken away as a result of deforestation.

IMPACTS OF DEFORESTATION :
Deforestation has had a huge impact on the environment. Lack of trees has
led to less release of water vapor in the air. This has, in turn, led to the

alteration of rainfall patterns in different regions. India is a country that is

dependent on monsoon rains for agriculture. Frequent droughts and floods
caused due to deforestation have affected the lives of many in different
parts of the country.
This has also led to global warming which is again a major environmental
concern. Also, the ever-rising pollution level, especially in many cities in
India is due to vast deforestation only. Additionally, trees bind the soil
around them and prevent soil erosion.

 To Control:

There are many ways in which we can reduce deforestation. We must

protect our forests. Moreover, we must mark adequate land for our
farming needs. What needs to be done is the proper execution of the rules
so that everyone abides by them. Also, stricter punishments need to be in
place for violators to deter other people from disobeying the laws.
Alternatively, people need to ensure that for every tree felled, equal
numbers of trees are planted so that the balance of nature can be
maintained. Summarily, it has to be a collective duty of all and just the
governments alone, if we need to reduce deforestation.

Conclusion:
We all indeed need space to live. With the ever-growing population and
urbanization, there has been more than ever a need to cut trees and make
space. However, we must realize that we can't live without having trees
around us. Trees bring so many benefits such as giving us oxygen, utilizing
the harmful carbon dioxide and so many products we need in our daily
lives. Without trees around us, there would be no life on the earth. We
should all do the needful to protect trees and reduce deforestation

This report is made with the help of a documentary of
deforestation form “National Geographic”.To answering the
questions

What is deforestation? And find out the causes,effect,and

solutions to deforestation

Yes, I Agree with their statements.Deforestation is causing

global warming,soil Erosion,Climate change And it all
disturbs the Environment But deforestation also has some
advantages.

Advantages of deforestation.

● It creates unusable land for human expansion.

● It creates a change for discovery.
● It gives us materials.
● It is a revenue generator.
● It provides tax revenues.

By taking small steps we can also Stop deforestation. By

adding more trees to the environment.
