This is presentation based on deforestation and climate change from year 2001-2022, This ppt includes the formal definition of deforestation, also i have included world map on deforestation from year 2001-2022, it also has global statistics based on many surveys, it also includes causes, effects and economical effects by how deforestation is caused, it also has solutions and impacts of deforestation with framework of government of India.

1. Deforestation and Climate Change
Name: Saurabh Patil
Fundamental of Climate change

2. What is Deforestation
• Deforestation is the purposeful clearing of
forested land. Throughout history and into modern
times, forests have been razed to make space for
agriculture and animal grazing, and to obtain wood
for fuel, manufacturing, and construction.
Deforestation has greatly altered landscapes around
the world.
• Deforestation means cutting or clearing trees or
forests over a large area.

4. Global Statistics on Deforestation

5. Causes of Deforestation
1. Clearing land to build housing: Countries resort to deforestation to
cope with the increasing demand for housing brought about by the
growing population.
2. Felling trees for wood: Logging, or simply cutting down trees for
timber is one of the main causes of deforestation.
3. Agriculture: To provide land for food crops such as rice, palm oil, for
rearing cattle etc. undisturbed rainforest areas end up being removed.
4. Forest Fire: Hundreds of trees are lost each year due to fire in
various portion of the world. Fire whether caused by man or nature
results in huge lost of forest.
5. Other land uses: * Land for mining and industrial projects
* Building dams.

6. Effect of Deforestation to
climate change
• Deforestation of tropical forests may risk triggering tipping points in the climate
system and of forest ecosystem collapse which would also have effects on climate
change.
 Forest fires: As deforestation rates continue to rise, the likelihood of forest fires
also increase. People tend to use wood from deforestation as a source of kindling
for fires that assist in preparing meals and also serve as a source of heat. As the
smoke is released from this burning wood, it can mix with clouds in the
atmosphere, preventing rain and causing dry spells. When this dryness continues
for long periods of time, forest fires are more likely to occur.
 Human mortality: A study conducted from 2002 to 2018 determined that the increase
in temperature as a result of climate change, and the lack of shade due to deforestation,
has increased the mortality rate of workers in Indonesia.[65] These findings imply that
developing countries will face harsh effects of global warming as they might not have
access to fresh water or electricity that would power air conditioning.[65] As deforestation
rates continue to increase, the percentage of workers that face mortality will increase
simultaneously.

7. Economical affects
• What are the economic causes of
deforestation?
Global economic factors such as a country's foreign
debt, expanding global markets for rainforest timber and
pulpwood, or low domestic costs of land, labor, and fuel
can encourage deforestation over more sustainable land
use. Access to technology may either enhance or
diminish deforestation.

8. Solution to Deforestation:
• There are many solutions to deforestation. A start would be to
convince companies and governments to change their habits, as
their choice of raw materials has a big impact on our forests. By
introducing deforestation prevention policies in supply chains,
companies can be put under pressure.
• Preserving our current forests can be seen as the main solution to
deforestation. We need forests in order to survive. They ensure that
we can breathe. They are home to millions of people and billions
depend on forests.
• Another approach to preserve our forests is to change the
consumption behavior of the population. But to do this, people first
have to be informed and educated about this so that they take
action themselves.

9. Impact of Deforestation
• Loss of Habitat: One of the most dangerous and unsettling effects of deforestation is the loss of
animal and plant species due to their loss of habitat. 70% of land animals and plant species live in
forests.
• Increased Greenhouse Gases: In addition to the loss of habitat, the lack of trees also allows a
greater amount of greenhouse gases to be released into the atmosphere. Healthy forests absorb
carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, acting as valuable carbon sinks. Deforested areas lose that
ability and release more carbon.
• Water in the Atmosphere: One of the most important forests for regulating water cycles across
the planet is the Amazon rainforest. Its millions of trees work together to release moisture into the
air, creating atmospheric "rivers" that regulate Earth's weather patterns.
• Soil Erosion and Flooding: Further effects of deforestation include soil erosion and coastal
flooding. Trees help the land to retain water and topsoil, which provides the rich nutrients to
sustain additional forest life.
• Other impacts: Species Loss, loss of valuable medicines, Extinction and Disease

10. Framework for forest
management
• The Forest (Conservation) Act of 1980 (FCA, 1980) is an
act by the Parliament of India which ensures conservation
of forest and its resources.
• It was enacted by the Parliament of India in order to control
the ongoing deforestation of the forests of India. It came
into force on October 25, 1980 containing five sections.

11. Conclusion:
Deforestation is a human activity that is destructive
and should be discouraged. Environmental
conservation is our responsibility because we have
only one earth to live in.
