Prepared by Megh Shah

2. Reason Behind Deforestation
 Demand for land has been tremendously increased due to population
explosion.
 Land requirements for human habitats has resulted in large scale destruction of
forest and agricultural land.
 This process of forest destruction is known as deforestation.
 Large quantity of wood is needed for building construction and furniture
making.
 Besides fodders and leaves are required for cattle.
 These all activities have resulted into deforestation.

3. Extent of Deforestation

4. Results of Deforestation
 The results of deforestation are very hazardous.
 It is observed that thousands of hectors of forest land has been vanished and
replaced by human habitation and factories.
 Rapid destruction of forest has resulted into loss of ecological balance.
 Carbon-di-oxide of the atmosphere is absorbed by the trees and convert it into
the Oxygen gas.
 But due to deforestation, this natural process has been disturbed and produced
the threat for very existence of human beings.

5. Measures to minimize
deforestation.
 Strict laws must be enforced by the forest department for destruction of trees.
So that the people refrain from cutting the trees.
 ‘Plant More Trees’ campaign must be launched and incentives should be given
to the people for planting and taking care of trees.
 People should be made aware about environmental damage by destruction of
trees.
