Deforestation causes a lot of environmental problems. We must stop all such activities immediately. immediately. What do you y ou think ? You should write at least 350 words. In the past ten years, the depletion of the forested area has increased drastically. drastically. More and more forests are transformed into industrial sites, residential areas or shopping complexes. Due to the development of a country, deforestation has become a serious issue. The environmental problems caused by deforestation will not only be suered by people in the country, but also aects our Mother Earth. Therefore, we should stand up and do something to prevent this issue from worsening. ccording to the study, deforestation causes a lot of environmental problems. !nfortunately, men are very greedy and only engrossed in ma"ing pro#t by clearing forests to build houses or factories. The eect of deforestation is interrelated and this is the reason why deforestation is an important environmental issue which needs our urgent attention. fter a forest is cleared, soil is exposed to the rain and sun without the shade of plants. $ater $ater in the soil will cause the soil to be not #rm. %oil erosion will occur &ust before landslides happen. 'owever, we should ta"e note that landslides are not a natural phenomenon. $e can prevent it from happening and stop the nightmare for those who stay near the edge of a mountain. %ince there is soil erosion, the river bed will soon become shallow due to the (oe of soil into the river ri ver.. The shallowness of a river bed causes (ash (oods as rivers are not able to accommodate large amount of water, especially in the raining seasons. It is clear to see that deforestation causes soil erosion, landslides and (ash (oods. )esides the problems above, deforestation is a way to destroy the natural habitat of animals and plants. nimal creatures are living in the forests * their fantasy world, &ust li"e mans dwell in the cities with luxurious facilities and services. +et, +et, men are going to destroy their $onderland, $onderland, therefore animals lose their homes. Extinction of (ora and fauna will happen in the future if no action is ta"en to arrest the problem. )oth plants and animals are crucial elements to maintain the balance of ecosystem. It might seem there are no dierences at the be ginning, but it really creates a big problem later on. lants are the main food of the whole ecosystem. 'uman and animals cannot create their own food. $e all are depend on the plants as a source of food. $ithout plants, there will be no humans and animals as plants are the producers in the food chain or food web. Therefore, it is crucial to protect our forests in order to prevent hundreds of thousands of species are "illed due to the loss of natural habitat. nother serious eect of deforestation is the climate change. It is scienti#cally proven that global warming is caused by the emissions e missions of greenhouse gases li"e carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Trees Trees act as a ma&or storage depot for carbon since they absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, which is then used to produce carbohydrates, fats and proteins that ma"e up trees. $hen deforestation occurs, many of the trees are burnt and they are left aside to rot, which then results in releasing more carbon dioxide stored in them. In turn, it leads to high concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The climate becomes more extreme due to deforestation. The occurrence and strength of (oods and droughts
increases. s we "now, the vital functions of forests is to absorb and store great amount of water -uic"ly when they are heavy rains. $hen forests are cut down, this regulation of the (ow of water is disrupted, which leads to alternating periods of (oods and then drought in the aected area. 'ence, the government should have some alternatives to solve this problem such as growing more trees. %eriously, can we imagine a world without our trees /o, de#nitely nt. %o we must all &oin hands to prevent deforestation, each in our own little way. The world0s forest was abundant before the ma"ing of paper. lot of things li"e paper "itchen towels, facial tissues and can be recycled if only we are not so -uic" in &ust dumping it away. 1o for materials which is reusable and recyclable instead to save Earth. 2ur trees are our lega cy given to us by our ancestors, it is the legacy we must preserve and leave to the next generation.
