Deforestation
Deforestation is the cutting down of trees 🌳 in the forest in a large number. Deforestation has always been a threat to our environment. But still many humans are continuing this ill practice. Moreover. Deforestation is causing ecological imbalance. Yet,some selfish people aim to strengthen their pockets. Therefore they do not even think 💭 about the after effects of deforestation. So, the government is trying to countermeasures to avert the harm to the environment.
The main purpose of deforestation is to increase the land areas to set up new industries. And , all this is because of the increase in population. As the population increase the demand for products also increase. So rich businessmen set up these industries to increase their profit.
There are many harmful effects of deforestation. Some of them are soil erosion, landslides, flood, Global warming etc. Disasters like landslides take place because of the deforestation. Moreover the agricultural grounds are not receiving proper rainfall. Deforestation is affecting wildlife as well. Many animals like Dodos, Sabre-toothed cats ,Tasmanian Tigers🐅 have already been extinct. The temperature🤒 of many areas are reaching its extreme points. As an example the glaciers in the Himalayan ranges are melting.
To avert the deforestation, mainly we should grow small plants in our gardens. At the same time, the government should take strict action against people those who are illegally cutting down trees 🌳.
