What could we do to help deforestation?

Answer 1

Forests, trees and plants are like carbon "sinks" that absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and turn it into oxygen. We need large expanses of forest to remove carbon dioxide which is a greenhouse gas contributing to global warming.

Deforestation means cutting down trees which directly affects the environment so that there will be less pure air or oxygen to breath as trees serve to clean air by taking in CO2 and releasing O2.

The natural habitat for wild animals and birds will be destroyed which will lead to their extinction and the consequently disturbance to the food chain.

Deforestation will also increase floods, drought and climate change and will also cause soil erosion because trees help in binding soil with their roots.

The effect of deforestation on environment can cause floods, fertility of the soil can be gone , there will be soil erosion, water cycle can be disturbed which results in drought and there will be disturbance in nature and there cannot be any shelter for any organisms.

Deforestation has much economic importance but the bad effect is that

1. It causes erosion.
2. It leads to loss or extinction of wild life.
3. It exposes the bush to burning.
4. It destroys the soil structure.
5. It contributes to global warming by removing the carbon sinks (trees) that absorb CO2 from the atmosphere.

Deforestation can lead to soil erosion, desertification, and in extreme cases the extinction of plants and animals.
Every tree is home to at least 100 animals. Compare to that to YOUR neighborhood, as far as how devastating it would be to lose 100 homes in the name of progress. Then waste SEVENTY PERCENT of what you just wiped out because it's just not profitable to use EVERY resource. The waste has to go somewhere. The 'neighborhood' will take 100 years to get back to where it was the day before you destroyed it. There will be a great wailing and gnashing of teeth.
deforestation is greatly harming the environment. due yo the scarcity if trees, rain is not occurring as a result, crops are failing . it is also causing global warming which is the root problem of all the problems of the earth.

Answer 2

Deforestation is to cut down trees in order to get new land for agriculture or grassland for livestock. The only way to reduce deforestation is to do the contrary, planting new trees on other places.

Answer 3

We can stop cutting down trees, or if you do chop down a tree you should plant another. This can help the reduction of deforestation.
