Deforestation: Impact, preventive measures, testing, presentation, paragraph
Deforestation means
Deforestation is the continuous destruction of indigenous forests and woodlands. Deforestation occurs on many fronts: in the felling of vegetation for agriculture, for livestock (see the article on human-animal interactions), for logging to build houses and structures, for infrastructure and neighborhoods, for firewood and forest fires.
Disadvantages of deforestation
Deforestation disturbs our environment and the image of our country. Up to 80% of our forests have been destroyed. Our rainforests are disappearing. About 728 kilometers of forest – about half the size of Delhi – is believed to have been destroyed in the last two years (Read more: 8 reasons why it is worth living in Delhi).
Disadvantages of deforestation
Even if trees need to be felled to a certain extent, people and other types of forests and wooded areas need to be protected. Trees are not only attractive, but they are also home to many special plant and animal species that can be wiped out by deforestation. They also give us beautiful things for the people and for the atmosphere.
Deforestation interrupts the carbon cycle. Forest trees capture both carbon dioxide and environmental pollution. When trees are damaged, burned or left alone, carbon is released in the form of carbon dioxide and methane, two of the most harmful gases.
Methane and carbon dioxide are added to the product of the greenhouse effect. According to the World Rainforest Movement, twenty-five percent of our medicine comes from the forests. Deforestation also has consequences for the water. Trees absorb water through their roots and release it to the air as moisture.
This moisture then turns into clouds that carry the rain with them. If we have fewer trees, the atmosphere will be parched. With fewer trees, our topsoil has less support and more sediment ends up in the water, resulting in soil loss and more flooding. And what happens to the flora and fauna that have their habitat in our trees? Where’d they go?
Consequences of deforestation
In order to protect our forests and woodlands, the nature that lives in them, the soil, the water, the air we all breathe, and the wellbeing of mankind as a whole, we must handle paper products wisely and carefully; and we must undoubtedly ensure that paper products are reused.
Importance of trees
Try to imagine the earth without trees (take a look at our exclusive article: Save the Trees), not only because of the things mentioned above but also because of the grandeur of nature. We almost all walked along the road with the sun beating us brutally, silently wishing there were trees next to the road. There are so many things related to trees that also touch our senses, such as the soothing sound of the wind blowing through the leaves, the sound of the branches swaying in the breeze, and the ever-charming chirping of sparrows at sunrise and sunset.
How can deforestation be prevented?
Seriously, can we imagine a world without trees? No, certainly not. That is why we must all join forces to stop deforestation, each in his own way. The world survived before the paper came into being. Many things, such as paper towels and tissues, can be avoided if we don’t worry so much about the word disposable. So choose a reusable and environmentally friendly replacement product. Our trees are a legacy of our ancestors; a legacy we must leave to the next generation.
