Deforestation involves the permanent destruction of forests to make land available for other uses like housing, agriculture, and timber. It has reduced indigenous forests globally to 4/5 of their original area. Deforestation causes habitat loss for many species, increased greenhouse gas emissions by removing trees that regulate carbon, and impacts the water cycle by reducing evapotranspiration. Solutions include planting trees, reducing paper usage, buying recycled products, and establishing laws to curb uncontrolled tree felling.

of forests in order to make the land available for other uses. The term does not include the removal of industrial forests such as plantations. It has resulted in the reduction of indigenous forests to 4/5 of their pre-agricultural area. CAUSES To make more land available for housing and urbanization To harvest timber to create commercial items such as paper, furniture and homes To create room for cattle ranching To create ingredients that are highly prized consumer items, such as the oil from palm trees EFFECTS – Loss of Habitat Seventy percent of Earths’ land animals and plants live in forests, and many cannot survive the deforestation that destroys their homes – Increased Greenhouse Gases The lack of trees also allows a greater amount of greenhouse gases to be released into the atmosphere. – Water in the Atmosphere The trees also help control the level of water in the atmosphere by helping to regulate the water cycle. SOLUTIONS PLANT A TREE. GO PAPERLESS. RECYCLE AND BUY RECYCLED PRODUCTS. THE BEST SOLUTION TO DEFORESTATION IS TO CURB THE FELLING OF TREES, BY EMPLOYING A SERIES OF RULES AND LAWS TO GOVERN IT. ... CONCLUSION Thus, deforestation is an important issue to be discussed. It has adverse effects on each living beings' life. Deforestation has become a huge concern in today's life as there has been a rise in the decline of forests. Trees are cut down in order to manufacture paper products as well as for livestock farming and so on. THANK YOU!!!
