Text : Déforestation,
Déforestation is clearing earth’s forests on a massive scale, often resulting in damage to the
quality of the land. Forests still cover about 80 % of the land area, but swaths the size of
Panama are lost each and every year. The world’s rain forests could completely vanish in a
hundred years at the current of deforestation.
Forests are cut down for many reasons, but most of them are related to money or to
people’s need. The biggest driver of deforestation is agriculture. Farmers cut forest to provide
more rooms for planting crops or grazing livestock. Often many small farmers will each clear
a few acres to feed their families by cutting down trees and burning them in a process known
as ‘’Slash and Burn’’ agriculture.
Logging operation which provide the world’s wood and paper products, also cut
countless trees each year. Loggers, some of them acting illegally, also build roads to access
more and more remote forests which leads to further deforestation. Forests are also cut as a
result of growing urban sprawl. Not all deforestation is intentional. Some is caused by a
combination of human and natural factors like wildfires and subsequent overgrazing, which
may prevent the growth of your trees.

Deforestation has many negative effects on the environment. The most dramatic
impact is a loss of habitat for millions of species. 70 % of earth’s land animals and plants live
in forests, and many cannot survive the deforestation which destroys their homes.
Deforestation also drives climate change. Forests sols are moist, but without protection from
sun – blocking tree cover, they quickly dry out. Trees also help perpetuation of the water
cycle by returning water vapor back into the atmosphere. Without trees to fill these roles,
many former forests lands can quickly become barron deserts. Trees also play a critical role in
absorbing the the greenhouse gases that fuelor increase global warming.
The quickest solution to deforestation would be to simply stop cutting down trees.
Though deforestation rates have slowed a bit in recent years, financial realities make this
unlikely to occur. A more workable solution is to carefully manage forest resources by
eliminating clear – cutting to make sure that forest environment remain intact. The cutting that
occur should be balanced or compensated by the planting of enough young trees to replace
the older ones felled in any given forest. The number of new tree plantations is still a tiny
fraction of the Earth’s forested land.
