Deforestation has resulted in the clearing of six out of ten of Earth's original forests. It occurs for various reasons such as obtaining fuel, timber, and cleared land for agriculture. The removal of trees without sufficient reforestation has led to biodiversity loss, soil erosion, degraded wastelands, and the release of stored carbon into the atmosphere exacerbating climate change. Reforestation efforts need to focus on replenishing lost nutrients in soil in order to restore ecosystems and sustainability.

3.  About 11000 ago, before Man learnt to cultivate land for
growing his own food, a large part of the Earth was
covered with forests.
 Today, six out of ten forests have been cleared, so that
they now cover little more than one-fifth of the land on
Earth.
 Destruction of forested land is called deforestation.

4.  Deforestation occurs for many reasons;
trees are derived
charcoal are used as,or sold.
for fuel or as a commodity
cleared land is used as pasture for
livestock,plantationsof
commodities,and settelment

5.  The removal of trees without sufficient
reforestation has resulted
 Damage to habitat, biodiversity loss and
aridity.
 Deforested regions typically incur significant
adverse soil erosion and frequently degrade
into wasteland.
 Currently, 12 million hectares of forests are
cleared anually.
.

6.  Biosequestration is the capture and
storage of the atmospheric greenhouse
gas carbon dioxide by biological processes
 . It has adverse impacts on biosequestration
of atmospheric carbon dioxide.
 Because of this, merely replanting trees may
not help in solving the problem caused by
deforestation, for by the time the trees
mature, the soil will be totally devoid of
essential nutrients.

7.  . Ultimately, cultivation in this land will also
become impossible, resulting in the land
becoming useless.

8.  When forest areas are cleared, the soil is
exposed to the sun, making it very dry and
eventually, infertile, due to volatile nutrients
being lost.
In addition, when there is erosion, rainfall
washes awaythe rest of the nutrients, which
flow with the rainwater into waterways.

10.  Trees contribute in a large way in maintaining the water
cycle.
They take in water via their roots, which is then released
into the atmosphere.
A large part of the water that circulates in the ecosystem
of rainforests,for instance remains inside the plants.
When these trees are cut down it results in
the climate getting drier in that area.

11.  The unique biodiversity of various geographical areas is
being lost on a scale that is quite unprecedented.
 Even though tropical rainforests make up just 6 percent of
the surface area of the Earth, about 85 percent of the
entire species of the world exist here.
 Due to massive deforestation, about 50 to 100 species of
animals are being lost each day. This puts the extinction
of animals and plants on a massive scale.

12.  One of the vital functions of forests is to absorb and
store great amounts of water quickly when there
are heavy rains. When forests are cut down, this
regulation of the flow of water is disrupted, which
leads to alternating periods of flood and then
drought in the affected area.

13.  : It is well known that global warming is being caused largely due
to emissions of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
Trees act as a major storage depot for carbon, since they absorb
carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to photosynthesis to
produce glucose which makes up trees.
When deforestation occurs, many of the trees are burnt or are
left to rot, which results in releasing the carbon that is stored in
them as carbon dioxide.
This in turn leads to Greaterconcentrations of carbon dioxide in
the atmospher.

14.  1-Recycling :
 we should recycle all the thing that are made of tree ex.
Paper, bags, furniture, etc. because it lead to the less
cutting of tree and also the products of trees will be
used wisely.
2- Wood factories:
we should stop or lessen the production in those factories
that cut down trees to make their products ex. paper,
furniture, etc

15.  we all know that the colossal cause of
deforestation is people's needs from the
forests. Even though we depend on the
forests, we should learn to lessen our
dependency on the forests and their
environment.
 So we need to use a little of them as
possible and wisely.

16. Paper: paper is one of the most important things in the
world without it we can't do almost anything.
We can't study, write, learn and a lot of stuff which is
impossible to do without paper, but many of the
forests are destroyed just to make paper out of
them.
So lessen your dependency on the paper and try to
use as less as possible and recycle them.

17.  After cutting down a tree we should plant
two because this way there will be a
balance of ecosystem and the rate of
deforestation will diminish.
Enhance ecosystem.
 This method is followed for timberland wood
where trees grown for paper making.

20.  The area around the Outdoor Classroom at SBWR
showcased the diverse habitats of the Wetland Reserve,
namely the mangrove, back mangrove, secondary forest
and freshwater pond.
Each of these habitats had its own uniqueness, which
supported diversities
of flora and fauna. A
small spice garden
was also planted to
help the visitor link his
new experiences of the
Reserve’s plants to something
he is likely to be familiar with.

21. “For in the true nature
of things, if we rightly
consider, every green
tree is far more
glorious than if it were
made of gold or silver.”
-Martin Luther
1483~1546

22. Wilderness and forests around the globe are being
depleted rapidly, and are becoming confined
primarily to islands, parks and reserves. The health
of our planet’s forests will depend on how well we
manage and protect the few remaining areas we
have left. Forests are not only sanctuaries of
wildlife, but of the human spirit. Every tree adds
vibrancy, colour, magnitude, and they are vessels
of health and vigour. Please, for the sake of man’s
future, do contribute.
