The principal problems here are deforestation and the danger to living being but, how
can solve them?

Deforestation or destruction

Both deforestation and desertification, pose serious challenges to sustainable

development and have affected the lives and livelihoods of millions of people. It is a
phenomenon, caused by the impact of human activities or by natural causes, which
results in the loss of forests and jungles. Over the past 13 years, more than 43 million
hectares of forest have been devastated, a land that is the size of the state of California
in the United States. Without a doubt, these data reflect the pressing need to focus on
the protection of the areas most at risk of suffering these devastating effects.

Diseases caused by trees, parasites, and forest fires help destroy ecosystems and
biodiversity by releasing huge amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere.

There is an urgent need for measures to help reduce the damage it causes!

Possible solutions

A farming method that integrates trees into agricultural systems, preserving soils,
restoring degraded ecosystems, and improving agricultural production conditions.
“Forest carbon projects aim to restore and preserve forests, as well as support the socio-
economic development of disadvantaged communities with tree planting.”

(Santander Universidades, 2022)

Conclusion

The challenge of the 21st century is to act in the face of the climate crisis and promote
sustainable measures that end the deforestation of forests and global warming. We must
become aware of what is happening in our environment to change and implement
efficient measures that are respectful of our surroundings.
