Deforestation process



The above picture shows how the process of deforestation looks like
  Deforestation is the removal of a forest or stand of trees where the land is thereafter converted to a non forest use. Examples of deforestation include conversion of forestland to farms, ranches, or urban use.About half of the world's original forests had been destroyed by 2011, the majority during the previous 50 years. More than half of the animal and plant species in the world live in tropical forests.Because deforestation basically involves killing trees in forests, there are so many effects that can be enumerated as results of the activity. Effects of deforestation can be classified and grouped into effects to biodiversity, environment and social settings.When forests are cuted down, nature basically requires people to renew the forest.  Reforestation is proven to be a much harder effort than deforestation. It is one concept that is in the opposite direction as deforestation.So the rate of deforestation has not been offset by the rate of reforestation.

 Thus, the world is now in a  state when it comes to issues concerning the environment.the depletion of these groups of trees is greatly increasing the risk that carbon monoxide would reach the atmosphere and result in the depletion of the ozone layer, which in turn results to global warming.
One major effect of deforestation is climate change. Changes to the surroundings done by deforestation work in many ways. One, there is abrupt change in temperatures in the nearby areas. Forests naturally cool down because they help retain moisture in the air.Forests are natural habitats to many types of animals and organisms. That is why, when there is deforestation, many animals are left without shelters. Those that manage to go through the flat lands and residential sites are then killed by peopletroubled.


Deforestation is hardly hitting the living conditions of indigenous people who consider forests as their primary habitats. Imagine how they are rendered homeless when forests are depleted. These natives would be forced to live elsewhere, and are usually left to becoming mendicants in rural and urban areas.Why cant we love our environment?Some of us have no idea of the role that forests play in an environment.Why keep on destroying our natural herbs?This blog will give you the tips and educate you well on loving your trees ,plants also living happily with them.Imagine the future if the rate of deforestation occurs at a rate of just 15 hectares annually? At that rate in just 30 to 40 years the worlds forests will have been turned into arid barren wasteland useless for any purpose.There are many differing groups that will have to work together to achieve an end to deforestation environmental and conservation groups, governments, consumers, corporations as well as those who actually work in the forests. We need each and every one of us to take a stand and do our bit.Lets work together and save our forests.

  1. Love your environment and protect it for the future generation. Preserving nature is the best thing to do because the next generation will also get a chance to explore rather than benefiting now.

  2. When focusing on the environment,only a few people are informed or aware of issues that concern our environment. People do not think or care about reforestation nor deforestation and I feel government is not doing enough for the environment and people affected so I dont think it will be easy to get people to work together and end deforestation.

  4. I think we need more campaigns that will educate rural areas people about the importance of keeping the nature and making sure that trees are conserved well.
