Deforestation

Deforestation is the clearing of trees and land by logging and burning in order to use the property for other social purposes.

Deforestation has many detrimental effects which include: Biodiversity, reduction of oxygen, climate change, soil erosion, less soil production, increasing flood waters, hot during the day and cool during the night and extiction of animals.
Deforestation occurs because people are so careless and do not think of our environment. People log trees to provide general needs and wants such as dairy and chocolate, to supply materials for building and to provide areas for people to live. There are some very obvious ways to prevent deforestation. Some of them are: Replacing each tree cut down for another tree, to de-root the tree and replant it and restrain how many trees are cut down or burnt.
I believe that it is time we act upon deforestation and prevent it from happening.
