Deforestation
By: N.B.
Deforestation is where forests are being cleared on a huge scale, and trees and other wildlife are being damaged. Deforestation is being done for many reasons, one of which is agriculture. Many forests are cleared so farmers can grow their own crops and raise their livestock. Another reason for deforestation is fires. Fires burn up the forests and clear them out. Although many fires are not caused by man, they still burn down the forests. Another cause is men cutting down trees for logging, making paper, furniture, or anything else wood can be used to make. One more cause is transportation. Also, many forests are being cut down to make roads, or other means of transportation for people. One last cause is growing businesses and populations. Many forests are cut down for factories, or possible even homes for people to live in. Overall, there are many more reasons for deforestation, but those were just some.
Deforestation can harm the environment a lot. Many animals consider forests their home. By clearing the forests, we are ruining their habitats. Deforestation also has negative effects on many plants that live in forests. Deforestation also means the cutting down of trees. Trees have many important jobs, like letting out oxygen. Oxygen is what we humans use to breathe, and without enough trees to let out oxygen and take in carbon dioxide, we could get harmed too. Another thing trees are good for is they return water vapor back into the atmosphere, so those places don’t become too dry. Deforestation is the cause for many environmental problems, and these were just some.
Deforestation can be prevented if we stop cutting down trees and clearing out forests for our own good. We need to leave nature the way it is, and not tamper around with it so much. You can do something too. You should buy certified products or recycled products, and you should support the environment in any way you can. Join the environmental club in your school, or if there isn’t one, make one! You can also support organizations and people that are professionally working towards the prevention of deforestation and the prevention of other environmental issues. We can prevent major deforestation, and help the environment in many other ways.
