4. • Trees with stunted growth, due to low
temperature and less sunlight.
• Normally upward branches to
attain maximum sunlight.
• Essential to obtain fuel wood
only.
• Not economically important
7. Evergreen forests. Conical in shape, sloping branches
which prevent snow accumulation, small thick
leathery, needle like leaves to prevent loss of water.

29. Building of roads in order to have access to
the far flung areas has also caused
deforestation.
30. Industrializat
The increase in demand of industries has also caused deforestation as
most of the industries require wood as their fuel.
31. Overgrazing of land by cattles, sheeps and
goats have converted subtropical, and tropical
thorn forest areas into deserts.
32. • Climate Imbalance
• Increase in Global Warming
• Soil Erosion
• Floods
• Wildlife Extinction
Effects of Deforestation
33. Climate Imbalance
Trees also provide the required shade that keeps the soil moist. Flora &
fauna across the world are accustomed to their habitat. This haphazard clearance
of forests has forced several of these animals to shift from their native
environment. Due to this several species are finding it difficult to survive or adapt
to new habitats.
34. Increase in Global Warming
Trees play a major role in controlling global
warming . The trees utilize the greenhouse
gases, restoring the balance in the atmosphere.
With constant deforestation the ratio of
greenhouse gases in the atmosphere has
increased, adding to our global warming woes.
35. Soil Erosion
Also due to the shade of trees the soil
remains moist. With the clearance of
tree cover, the soil is directly exposed to
the sun, making it dry.
36. Floods
When it rains, trees absorb and store large
amount of water with the help of their roots.
When they are cut down, the flow of water is
disrupted and leads to floods in some areas and
droughts in other.
37. Wildlife Extinction
Due to massive felling down of
trees, various species of animals
are lost. They lose their habitat
and forced to move to new
location. Some of them are even
pushed to extinction.
39. The Billion Tree Afforestation Project in Pakistan’s
northern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) province was
launched in 2014.
It surpassed its target by restoring and planting
trees in 350,000 hectares of degraded forest
landscapes.
Trees have been planted over 209,008 hectors.
Sowing of new trees have been done on 23,096
hectors. Protected enclosures have been set on
4,509 hectors and 153.51 million trees have been
distributed free of cost.
