Deforestation

Deforestation means cutting down or burning a large number of trees/forests indiscriminately. For the increasing number of population, we need more schools, colleges, offices, business establishments and various sorts of furniture. So, we cut down many trees.
Moreover in many parts of the world, people are to depend on wood for cooking their food. To make fire, they cut down trees. This cutting down of trees is deforestation which has many adverse effects.
Deforestation disturbs our ecological balance. Animals and birds living in the forests are on verge of extinction owing to deforestation. Inadequate number of trees causes drought and drought damages crops.
When crops do not grow as we require, there happens famine. It is causing the greenhouse effect. Deforestation may causes desertification in many parts of the world which will pose a serious threat to our existence.
As a result of deforestation carbon dioxide is increasing worldwide making the world warmer. It is also causes the rise of sea-level and thereby floods coastal areas and farmland. Deforestation exerts many adverse effects on climate, agriculture and our life. We should try to stop deforestation and plant more and more trees here and there.
