                  The best ways to stop and control Deforestation.
        Deforestation is somewhat good or somewhat bad for all living species on this earth. The proper uses of forest may benefit for all, but massive scale of cutting down trees causes the serious global hazard. Deforestation destroyed the habitat of many species, but it brought new invention. People cut down trees for agriculture and other infrastructures. Deforestation increases green gas on the environment.

       According to HealthReaserchFunding.org Deforestation creates a strong revenue source for governments. This helps to stimulate the economy, especially in developing countries. This articles brought us some positive views on deforestation. Forest are being cut for make room for making the road, business, and other infrastructures. We get lots of things from the forest like fuel, paper, and many others necessities. We get enough room for agriculture from cutting down of the forest.


       According to National Geographic deforestation has many  negative effects on the environment. The most dramatic impact is a loss of habitat for millions of species. It claims deforestation also causes many serious problems to the world like; soil erosion, Global warming, and climate change. Deforestation causes serious health hazard though water because it damages water cycle.


       Both articles brought some excellent views on deforestation. Deforestation is good for expanding land for agriculture so that people can get enough food, and it is good for making infrastructures. In other way deforestation damages water cycle then we can not get enough water in the environment, and it increases green gas in the environment that can cause climate change and many serious respiratory problems.

       From the surface, both articles have best points of views on deforestation. The proper cutting down of trees help people better. Many countries and organization are work for save the forest. Some of the countries making the laws to push out the deforestation. Deforestation should need to be a limit otherwise, the whole ecosystem is going to be disrupted. There are lots of ways to control deforestation some of these are: Reforestation, Conservation areas, National park, and wildlife reserve. Reforestation increases the forest area in the earth. We can cut down one old tree instead of that if we can plant at least three small plants. From conservation areas, wildlife reserve, and national parks prevents being cutting down of trees. The Ramsar Convention is the official and effective organization working for saving the forest. One hundred sixty-nine countries are the members of the Ramsar Convention.

        Deforestation: Cause and effect on the water cycle, Climate change, and Global Warming.

         How Plants keep the water cycle on balance? What is the effect of deforestation on the water cycle? What causes the green gas level increase in the atmosphere? The water cycle is a very vast system that keeps the Earth's water in a state of continuous circulation. Trees and forested areas play an important role in the water cycle and evaporation rates. At the time of rainfall trees and plants absorb water from earth surface to earth inside through their roots. The loss of forested areas may have extremely affect on how the water cycle transfers water between the ground and atmosphere. Trees not only play an important role in maintaining water quality, but they also pass moisture from the soil back to the atmosphere through a process known as transpiration. Plants have also an extreme capacity to control transpiration rate. We know that trees and forested areas prevent water source from direct sunlight. It helps the environment to keep wet on the dry season too.  Deforestation results in faster soil erosion and can result in the major disturbance in the runoff  local streams and rivers. We know that plants use sunlight and carbon dioxide on photosynthesis.  As we know that the amount of carbon dioxide is in the third position in the Atmosphere, after Nitrogen and Oxygen. This Carbon dioxide came from Factories, Vehicle, and all living being while respiration. Deforestation increases the level of green gas on the environment that plays a vital role to increase earth's temperature. The increase of temperature  on Earth's surface called causes snowfall on higher mountains and the north pole of the earth.

Forests are the habitat of millions of species, they protect soil from erosion, produce oxygen, store carbon dioxide, and help control climate. Forests provide us food, shelter, and medicines as well as many other useful things. They also purify the air we breathe and water that we need to survive. Forests play a huge role in the carbon cycle on our planet. When people cut down forests there is nothing to absorb atmospheric carbon dioxide. Deforestation is an important factor in global climate change. Climate change is because of increase of carbon dioxide in out atmosphere. More than 1.5 billion tons of carbon dioxide are released into the atmosphere due to deforestation, mainly the cutting and burning of forests, every year.

Deforestation causes lots of serious problems. So we need to find the possible solution to stop it. Some people and some Organisation trying to convince people to stop deforestation. Does it  effective? Can reforestation is the way to control  to massive cut down of forest? Do Conservational area, National park, and Wildlife reserve are the effective solution to stop deforestation? What is the other possible solution to stop deforestation?

                                            Is Deforestation Worth it?

What is the relation between forest and people? The relationship between forest and man was from the evolution of man on this earth. Unlike other species of the earth, our ancestor also spent all time in the forest. Along with the time, people’s consciousness is also developed, so they left the forest and start to live in a community. Do people think about conserve forest? How Deforestation Effects on Environment? The 21st century is an era of Civilization on technology, that causes the destruction of Natural resources. Deforestation is one of the major natural  destruction due to civilization. People depend on forests for hunting and other forest products including food, wood, medicine, fresh water, and the air. Can people ignore these facts how much they depend on the forest? What are the causes of Deforestation? what is the effect of deforestation on global warming? People start cutting down trees from many years ago to make the shelter for them and agriculture, but rapid deforestation is undergoing nowadays. People are cutting down the trees and the shrubs on a massive scale for development other infrastructure. As we know development and destruction occur simultaneously. If development begin = destruction happens with natural resources and if no development = no destruction. How much forest is lost every year? Is there any way to minimize or stop deforestation? According to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) secretariat, the overwhelming direct cause of deforestation is agriculture. More than "18 million" acres forest is destructing every year. "Farming is responsible for 48% of deforestation; commercial agriculture is responsible for 32% of deforestation; logging is responsible for 14% of deforestation and fuel wood removals  5% of deforestation" (Livescience.com).

How does Deforestation affect the animals? The forest is one of the habitats for most of the species of biodiversity, including plants,animals, bacteria, and fungi. Most of these spices spent  all life cycle in the forest.  We all know Oxygen is necessary to breathe for every living species the major sources of Oxygen are plants. Plants take carbon dioxide and expel oxygen while photosynthesis occurs. According to the ecological pyramid, all species depend on each other like a chain for example Insect depends on plants, snake depends on insects, eagle depends on the snake when eagle died bacteria decomposed eagle then plant get nutrients from the Earth. If people cut down trees on a massive scale most of the species can disappear. Deforestation also causes unbalance on "food web" and "food chain" then the whole Ecosystem is disrupted. What happens if Ecosystem is disrupted? Does it affect people directly?

Is deforestation causes soil erosion? What are the ways to stop it? Soil erosion is also another major cause of deforestation. Soil erosion happens naturally all over the land by a slow process, if we plant big trees, one side of the land the roots hold the soil tightly then we can stop erosion. If people cut down all trees, the soil particles become detached, so heavy rain, the wind, and rivers  can cause landslides and flooding then fertile land changes into the desert. The WWF states that scientists estimate that a third of the world's arable land has been lost to deforestation since 1960. (Livesience.com).

Deforestation causes the insufficient level of oxygen in the environment then people can not breathe it causes people death. If we did not get oxygen from the environment we have to look at other sources of Oxygen and that is not available from everywhere and it is not sufficient for every species. Another reason is People depends on the forest for several medicines, food, and water the non-availability of this stuff causes person's death. Insufficient sources promote violence between inter-species and intraspecies. Third reason is the forest is the habitat for most of the species if deforestation happens, they become homeless and come to the community looking for shelter, people can get hurt from those robbed (dangerous/fatal/deadly/lethal) wildlife.
