The document discusses the causes and effects of deforestation as well as ways to minimize it. Deforestation is occurring due to population growth, human settlements destroying forests, and agricultural expansion. This is disrupting the ecological balance by reducing the trees that convert CO2 to O2. Satellite images show thousands of forests being replaced. Stricter laws, tree planting campaigns, and awareness can help reduce deforestation.

• Demand of land ↑ = Population Explosion
• Human habitat -> Destruction of forest
-> and Agricultural land
• This process is called DEFORESTATION

3. • Large quantity of require for furniture making
• Fodders and leaves require for cattle's
↓
DEFORESTATION
• Loss of ecological balance
• CO2 → Trees → O2
↓
• Environment healthy and sustainable for human
and biological life
Deforestation

4. The extent of deforestation seen from satellite pictures
It has been observed thousands of forest land has been
vanished and replaced by human habitation and factories

5. Minimization of Deforestation
• Stricter laws must be enforced by forest
department
• “Plants More Tree” campaign lunched and
incentive given to people for planting and
taking care of trees
• People should be made aware about
deforestation.
