Deforestation is the cutting down of the trees in the forest in a large number of quantity. Forest are the lungs of our planet. Trees take carbon dioxide and releases oxygen which is responsible for our living. People cut down trees to increase land area like: construction of roads, setting up new industries etc. Apart from this the demand of paper, furniture etc. are also increasing therefore wood based industries need more and proper wood supply to make the products. We all know that the population of the world is increasing rapidly, which is also a reason behind the deforestation. People cut down trees and on that place they make houses. There are many harmful effects of deforestation but global warming is the main cause of the deforestation. The temperatures are reaching its higher points day by day. The glaciers in the Himalayan ranges are melting. Deforestation causes many wildlife species lose their home. We can stop deforestation by planting trees where we can, by raising awareness program in our locality, by using CNG vehicles or electric vehicles. Forest are an important natural resource, but human have destroyed high amount of forest land.
