1) WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT DEFORESTATION
My
thoughts about this is simple. a simple disruption in the earth's
delicate balance can mean certain destruction of the very place that cradles
the lives of many species. Forests are given credit for things as minor as the
spices that endulge food to life giving medicines. The rainforests amplify and
saves lives! Also I to ment to mention that not only are other rare species at
risk, but the human race also benefits what trees give severely! Oh one more
thing. Tropical Rainforests presently give a place to call home for 50%-90% of
all organisms and 50 million creatures that can't live no place else but the
rich Rainforests.
2) THE CAUSES OF THE DEFORESTATION
Urban
Construction
The cutting down of trees for lumber that is used for building materials, furniture, and paper products have a major impact on forest life. Forests are cleared to accommodate expanding urban areas. This results in loss of forest area and massive deforestation.
Agriculture
Forests are also cut down to clear land for growing crops, build farms, ranches and other food growing lands.
Grazing Land
Forests are cut down in order create land for grazing cattle. Huge herds of animals require food and forests are cleared out to make way for grazing lands for these cattle.
Used for Fuel
Trees are cut down in developing countries to be used as firewood or turned into charcoal, which are used for cooking and heating purposes.
Commercial Purposes
Some of the other causes are: clearing forests for oil and mining exploitation, to make highways and roads, slash and burn farming techniques, wildfires, and acid rain. Forest fires can occur naturally or in most cases are deliberate attempts by man to clear huge forests. Most of the time, these forests may recover, but usually the cleared land is used for construction and agriculture purposes. This leads to loss of forests and loss of habitat for the local wildlife.
Illegal Logging
Many government agencies are fighting illegal logging to protect the forests. However, any type of logging legal or illegal leads to deforestation. Trees are cut down indiscriminately by logging companies, to fulfill the demands of the wood market. This does not give a chance to the local wildlife and trees to regenerate and sustain themselves. Thus, leading to loss of wildlife forever.

3) If
deforestration continues, there will be more demand for pure air.So, people
will suffer from many diseases and ailments due to increased emission of CO2
and other gases. There will be very very less rainfall. Slowly, our earth will
be destroyed by many natural calamities due to absence of trees and
forests.Finally, at one time, the whole world will be destroyed and nothing
will be left behind.
4) WHO IS RESPONSIBLE OF DEFORESTATION
Human
is responsible for the deforestation.Due to rapid growth of human population
the need for the house and other things
are also increasing. This is resulting deforestation. in
addition, the government is also responsible for logging the government should
impose penalties for illegal loggers.
