Question

Accepted Answer

Deforestation The cutting down of trees indiscriminately to meet up the basic needs of food and housing and thus destroying the ecological balance, is called deforestation. There are many recent examples of massive deforestation. For example, Sumatra and Borneo have lost over half of the rainforest that existed only 30 years ago to enhance palm oil and acacia tree plantations. In addition, recently there have been 19,925 fire outbreaks in the Amazon. 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 Bangladesh, 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 the verge of extinction due to deforestation. Inadequate number of trees causes drought and drought damages crops. When crops do not grow as much as we require, there happens famine. Deforestation may cause desertification in many parts of the world which will pose a serious threat to our living. As a result of deforestation, carbon dioxide is increasing worldwide making the world warmer. It also causes the rise of sea level and thereby floods coastal areas and farmlands. Deforestation exerts many adverse effects on climate, agriculture and our life. We should try to stop deforestation and plant more and more trees. To prevent deforestation, some pragmatic steps should be taken. A social movement should be launched to prevent deforestation. Social awareness should be raised regarding the adverse effects of deforestation.
