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 have to fill their pockets. Therefore, they do not even think about it once. So, the government is trying countermeasures to avert the harm to the environment.

The main purpose of deforestation is to increase the land area. Also, this acreage is to line up new industries. And, this all 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 profit.

Harmful Effects to Deforestation

There are many harmful effects to deforestation. Some of them are below:

Soil Erosion: Soil erosion is the elimination of the upper layer of the soil. It takes place when there's removing of trees that bind the soil. As a result wind and water carries away the top layer of the soil.
Moreover, disaster like landslides take place because of this. Furthermore, soil erosion is responsible for various floods. As trees are not present to stop the waters from heavy rainfall's gush directly to the plains. This results in damaging of colonies where people are living.
Global Warming: Global warming is the main cause of the change in our environment. These seasons are now getting delayed. Moreover, there is an imbalance in their ratios. The temperature are reaching its extreme points. This year it was 50 degrees in the plains, which is most of all. Furthermore, the glaciers in the Himalayan ranges are melting.
As a result, floods are affecting the hilly regions of our country and the people living there. Moreover, the ratio of water suitable for drinking is also decreasing.

Impact on the Water Cycle: Since through transpiration, trees release soil water into the environment. Thus cutting of them is decreasing the rate of water in the atmosphere. So clouds are not getting formed. As a result, the agricultural grounds aren't receiving proper rainfall. Therefore it is indirectly affecting humans only.
A Great Threat to Wildlife: Deforestation affects wildlife also. Many animals like Dodo, Sabre-toothed Cat, Tasmanian Tiger are already extinct. Furthermore, some animals are on the verge of extinction. That's because they need lost habitat or their place of living. This is one of the major issues for wildlife protectors.

How to Avert Deforestation?

Deforestation can be averted by various countermeasures. First of all, we should afforestation which is growing of trees in the forest. This would help to resolve the loss of the trees cut down. Moreover, the use of the plant-based products should increase.

This would force different industries to grow more trees. As a result, the environment will also get benefit from it. Furthermore, people should grow small plants in their houses. That will help the environment to regain its ability. At last, the government should take strict actions against people. Especially those who are illegally cutting down trees.

Thanks, Have a great day..... God Bless💖💖💖
