The world's population is increasing at an alarming rate, therefore more and more food is required. The forests are being destroyed and more land is being cultivated, thus destroying the environment. Besides this the tribal population is removing trees to practise shifting cultivation and for fuel. To fulfill the demands of the urban population the forest cover is being destroyed.

We need to conserve our forests as it preserves the ecological diversity and our life support system- water, air and soil.

The Forest Conservation Act in 1988 made strict punishment for those who violated the rules. Strict measures were taken to regulate the activities of the tribals, prohibition regarding felling of trees in hilly areas and to stop grazing and to prevent forest fires. People should be made aware of the importance and value of trees and encourage them to plant more trees.

The famous Chipko movements in the Himalayas, Beej Bachao Andolan in Tehri and Navdanya have shown the participation of the community in conservation of forests.

    The main idea of the article is the affect of deforestation on the environment, wildlife and climate change. Deforestation results in soil deterioration. Forests store nutrients that are required for all plant life. Without trees to fill these roles, many forest’s lands can quickly become barren deserts. Deforestation also impacts the habitat for million species. Majority of Earth’s land animals and plants live in forests, and many cannot survive the deforestation that destroys their homes. Deforestation also drives climate change. Forest soils are moist, but without protection from sun-blocking tree cover they quickly dry out. Trees also help conserve the water cycle by returning water vapor back into the atmosphere. Trees remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through photosynthesis. Cutting down forests will cause a decline in photosynthetic activity which results in the…

    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. They help to maintain the Earth’s benevolent atmosphere, provide shelter for much biodiversity, but also have a high commercial value. As a consequence there is much critical debate around the causes and solutions for deforestation.…

    But deforestation has a negative impact on the environment, and the loss of habitat for millions of species is a very dramatic one. According to the World Wildlife Fund Organization, forests are home to 80% of the world’s terrestrial biodiversity, and the majority of these species cannot survive the destruction of their homes. Linda Maree emphasizes this concern in her “Hiking the Fakahatchee Strand” essay from the Wildbranch anthology, “Once all the harvestable trees were cut, the timber companies took their saws and rail lines elsewhere, leaving bruised and ailing ecosystem behind” (58). Conservation is the preservation of natural resources through the implementation of control and care. It is up to us to maintain a favorable balance or balance…

    “In less than one hundred years over half of the forest has now been cut and burned, leaving whole areas of the earth bare and unprotected, rendering entire regions lifeless. Over fifty million acres of tropical rain forest are destroyed every year, enough trees to fill all of England and Scotland combined,” stated Cedar.int. Forests have many beneficial qualities that are essential to human life, and each and every day humans are participating in deforestation. Some of the important contributions of forests are the production of oxygen, reduction of global warming, and providing wildlife habitats.

    In all rainforest regions in the world, deforestation has become a major problem. The rainforest is arguably the most complicated and largely interwoven ecosystem on land. However, this treasure is being lost and demolished day by day, the land being cleared away for the pure interest of money making, in the process of deforestation. Not only are thousands of species of organisms being driven to extinction, but we are also effectively eliminating any chance of studying many of the species. Also, deforestation has a major impact on the atmospheric balance of the world, and if it continues at the rate it is now, then soon the world's entire way of living will be forced to change, and not for the good. If the people of the world do not begin to be more contentious, then soon rainforests will become nothing more than a glorious legend of the past.…
