Mahatma Gandhi once stated, “What we are doing to the forests of the world is but a mirror reflection of what we are doing to ourselves and to one another”. Excessive deforestation is believed to be one of the leading causes of climate change and habitat loss in the world. Daniel Quinn, an American writer claims that “...man was innocent until he discovered the difference between good and evil. When he was no longer oblivious of that knowledge, he became a fallen creature… We are destroying the world because we are, in a very literal and deliberate way, at war with it.” Deforestation goes even farther than prove what Quinn stated is correct. We are destroying our planet with diminished forests, mass animal extinction, and climate change; all because of deforestation.

Deforestation occurs primarily as a result of agriculture, fuel use and production, firewood, charcoal, timber harvesting, pasture-clearing for livestock animals, and expanding human settlements. When deforestation happens to a country that you live in it can have a huge impact, "These deforested areas almost always end up as wastelands via the processes of soil erosion and desertification, if they aren’t reforested. Many of the areas of the world that were deforested thousands of years ago remain as severely degraded wastelands or deserts today." Currently, the world’s annual rate of deforestation is estimated to be about 13.7 million hectares a year, which is roughly equal to the total land of Greece. Half of the areas deforested gets reforested to some degree, but these new-growth forests don’t function in the same ways, support the same biodiversity, nor do they provide the many benefits that old-growth forests do cause many societies to eventually collapse if they cannot come up with a better

Deforestation is the destruction of a wide area of forest land into a cleared land that is used for a variety of reasons. The impact on the environment from cutting down, burning and damaging forests is very detrimental and there are severe consequences for the environment and future generations because of deforestation. According to the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization approximately 7.3 million hectares of forests are being destroyed per year in the world (Bradford, 2015). In this essay, I will explore the impact that deforestation on the environment and I will also look at the actions that are being taken to prevent deforestation. There are various reasons why deforestation is occurring despite its negative effects on the environment. Deforestation can cause very serious environmental problems such as climate change, flooding, loss of habitats as well as others.

Oh, you don't know too much about trees, do you? Well let me tell you that trees are amazing, and I mean, we literally breathe the air they are creating, and they clean up our pollution, our carbon, store and purify water, give us medicine that cures ours diseases and food that feeds us.

Trees and plants go through photosynthesis and give off oxygen. People breathe oxygen to stay alive. Without trees and plants humans wouldn’t have any oxygen to breathe. If people buy fake trees instead of real ones we would have much more oxygen than what we already have.

Deforestation has lead to terrible living conditions and 38 species have been driven to extinction. John Vidal, author of “The Sumatran Rainforest Will Mostly Disappear Within 20 Years,” writes about the ways logging companies are getting past regulations to take more land and logs away from the forest and natives. Ian Sample, author of “Amazon’s Doomed Species Set to Pay Deforestation’s ‘Extinction Debt,’” on the other hand mostly talks about the affects deforestation has on animals. Vidal has the better argument over Sample because his explanations about its effects on humans and corruption from companies and the government.

The more students that learn about these issues the more chance they will think everyday before they throw away paper or other recyclable materials.Planting trees has multiple benefits such as creating an ecosystem to provide habitat and food for birds and other animals. Trees absorb carbon dioxide and potentially harmful gasses, such as sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, from the air and release oxygen. One large tree can supply a day's supply of oxygen for four people.(Evans) All together this will make the community a more beautiful and create a healthier environment.

In the Mid-20th century, the country cut down most of the indigenous trees in the country. However, on realizing the adverse effects that are caused by lack of forest

From 1990 to 2005, deforestation, or the removal of trees, was happening at an average rate of 13 million hectares (32.11 million acres) per year (Hope 247). In many ways, deforestation has been the reason for great economic success which turns people on to the idea even more. Deforestation is an essential element in promoting and encouraging developmental growth. Some places around the world may feel obligated to resort to deforestation due to population increases around the world. The concept of deforestation may seem to have a positive impact on society, but many people fail to consider the importance of replanting the trees that were harvested and removed. Deforestation mainly affects North and South America, but because of the Transamazon

First off, what is deforestation? Deforestation, is the permanent destruction of forests in order to make the land available for other uses. In contrast, the destruction that is being done with the forest has a terrible effect on us. Most people, use the forest as a place

Trees provide us with oxygen that we need to breath in order to live. Our body breathes in oxygen and we breathe out carbon dioxide. Trees do the opposite, they breathe in carbon dioxide and release oxygen which helps us socially and increases our health. Trees are also used for shade which we need so we will not be overly exposed to the sun. Wood is also produced from trees to produce

Real trees help animals stay alive and if animals stay alive it helps humans stay alive. Trees help animals stay alive because it provides them with oxygen the tree has and need. When animals receive oxygen they pass it on to humans and that way animals and humans stay alive and get what they need. Oxygen is part of the photosynthesis cycle and that is when there are lots of steps plants and trees go through to make things

They also use trees for food and shelter. Trees support the lives of many large organisms. Trees are needed for resources to animals and more. This is why people and animals need

Deforestation is the cutting down of a large area of trees and the destruction of forests by people. Forests are what we call an exhaustible resource, one which can be used up if it is not used carefully. Over the last few decades, deforestation has threatened the rainforests with total extinction. To understand why deforestation is such an important issue, you first have to understand why trees matter. Trees improve in many ways the life of all species, including the human race.

There are many causes/factors to deforestation, which are largely associated with direct human influence. The first proximate cause to deforestation is infrastructure expansion (Geist & Lambin, 2002, p. 144). This refers to transportation (roads), private and public markets, rural and urban settlements, and private and public services (water lines, oil exploitation, etc…) (Geist & Lambin, 2002, p. 144). The next cause is agricultural expansion, which includes, large or small-scale cultivations, shifting cultivations (slash and burn), and, of course, cattle ranching. Wood extractions for industrial and domestic purposes are other proximate causes to this issue.
