Man has defeated all odds and conquered the world in his journey to development. In his blind obsession for development and technological advancement, he has severely damaged the environment and caused environmental problems like global warming, pollution, etc. The epicenter of this web of problems is deforestation.
Deforestation is defined as the clearing of forests by humans to make the land available for other uses. Deforestation can involve the conversion of forest land to farms, ranches, or urban use.
The primary cause of deforestation is agriculture. Trees are cut down for use as building material or sold as fuel, while cleared land is used as pasture for livestock and farming. Other causes of deforestation include population growth and urbanization. Both of these increased pressure on land and resources and thus led to indiscriminate chopping down of trees.
Deforestation has resulted in habitat damage, biodiversity loss, and aridity. Deforested regions typically incur significant other environmental effects such as adverse soil erosion and degradation into a wasteland. Deforestation also disrupts the carbon cycle and contributes to global warming. Trees are the “kitchen of the lifeforms” and biological air purifiers, and by deforestation, man is inviting his own doom.
The best way to tackle deforestation is reforestation. Other ways include passing stringent laws to protect our forests and creating awareness among the general public. Also, countries must pledge to develop only in a sustainable manner, where development and ecological conservation go hand in hand. As Mahatma Gandhi said, there is enough for everyone’s need but not for everyone’s greed.
