Deforestation
Nowadays deforestation has increased at an alarming rate. Apart from giving oxygen, trees give us shelter, food, timber, fuel, and many other things. Moreover, trees maintain the balance of the ratio of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the air and keep the air clean and fresh. Trees save us from the scorching heat as well by giving us shadows. Also, trees save us from various natural calamities such as typhoons, drought, floods, river erosion, and so on. Additionally, trees play a significant role in maintaining rainfall, especially in tropical regions. Moreover, because of the greenhouse effect, the temperature of the earth is increasing and causing global warming. Many changes are already happening due to global warming. The icebergs in the north and south pole are melting resulting in a rise in the sea level. Countries in the lower region will soon go underwater. Unfortunately, Bangladesh is one of the countries going through the worst changes because of climate change. Additionally, trees play a significant role in maintaining rainfall, especially in tropical regions. All these problems can be reduced to a certain point if deforestation can be controlled. The main reason for deforestation is population growth. The population is growing at a breathtaking pace. In order to give shelter to these increasing populations, people are cutting down trees. As trees provide timber, fuel, and various other raw materials people cut down trees indiscriminately to gather these materials. However, deforestation has various kinds of impacts on nature. Deforestation reduces the fertility and strength of the soil. It has an adverse effect on the agricultural sector. As the strength of the soil decreases on account of deforestation, it is giving rise to river erosion. In addition, deforestation diminishes soil quality. Many people are losing their homes every year. Deforestation diminishes the soil quality by destroying the upper layer. The root of the trees contains the most amounts of nutrients which mainly fertilizes the overall land. Cutting down trees results in a lack of nutrients making the land more unfertile for agriculture. Also, deforestation triggers the causes of air pollution. As the world is becoming more industrialized the level of air pollution has been uplifted. With the increasing population, the use of vehicles has also increased. Therefore the emission of carbon monoxide has also increased rapidly. Trees play a significant role as natural filters. Although with increased deforestation the number of trees is decreasing, escalating air pollution. Not only is mankind disturbed due to deforestation but also the worst sufferer is wildlife. As a result of deforestation, many animals and rare trees are being extinct. Deforestation escalates a major ecological imbalance. Therefore, many governmental and non-governmental organizations should work alongside to reduce deforestation. Also, public awareness about the disadvantages of deforestation should be emphasized more through mass media.
