"The whole world is much worried about global warming. In fact, Global warming and deforestation have a direct relationship. Mindless cutting of trees will eventually lead to a hotter climate and reduce the oxygen level in the environment", writes Asbina KC.

Forests are the lungs of the earth. They maintain the ecosystem of nature to keep it going. Forests are important in the sense that they absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen into the atmosphere. Thus, the forest is the key factor that plays a physician’s role. Without a doubt, the forest is the most precious resource that nature has bestowed upon human beings.

However, in the present context, organization and agricultural expansion have primarily caused deforestation. This will eventually lead to a hotter climate and less availability of oxygen for humans. Deforestation has removed several trees from hills and mountains and now those mountains bear a deserted look.

 

Unorganized urbanization and deforestation are the culprits to blame for natural calamities and the degradation of the natural environment. In recent times, more and more people have opted urban lifestyle. Most people in the recent past have chosen an urban lifestyle. This very tendency of the people has led them to cut more trees into human settlements.

 

At the same time, to meet the increasing demand for food supply, a large part of the woodland area has been transformed into agricultural land. Hence, the increasing sizes of our cities and agricultural land have removed trees from forests.

 

The whole world is much worried about global warming. In fact, Global warming and deforestation have a direct relationship. Mindless cutting of trees will eventually lead to a hotter climate and reduce the oxygen level in the environment.

 

If more trees are cleared then we will not be able to put control the rising temperature. A hotter environment will soak most of the oxygen from the atmosphere. This will put the existence of many species, including human beings in a dire situation.

 

In conclusion, deforestation is one of the biggest challenges that the present humanity has been facing. Therefore, the government should implement some concrete policies to protect woodlands. At the same time, much effort should be made to bring awareness among the people to protect our forests.
