A PARAGRAPH ON DEFORESTATION

  

The clearing of tropical forests across the Earth has been occurring on a large scale for many years. Deforestation simply refers to 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. The main purpose of deforestation is to increase the land area. Also, this land area is set up for new industries. It is caused due to overpopulation, globalization and many more. Trees are being cut down for construction purposes, lands are cleared for growing crops and trees are also used as firewood. There are many harmful effects of deforestation such as global warming, and soil erosion; pollution increases which cause different harmful diseases. It's also causing different disasters like floods and landslides. Deforestation affects animals as they lose their habitat. So, human beings should control deforestation on time by doing afforestation which helps to resolve the loss of the trees cut down. Some people grow small plants in their houses which provide attraction to their houses and give oxygen to them. Government should strictly punish and take action against people who engage in the illegal cutting of trees. We should make our choices and be responsible so that we can contribute to protecting the woods and reducing deforestation.
