Deforestation needs to be controlled, before it destroys all of the forests completely. The Earth is a very important place, and it inhabits everyone, so if it is destroyed, we are inevitably killing everyone in the process.”Forests alone, cover about 30 percent of the world’s land, and large areas, about half the size of England, are lost each year (national
