Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -More immediately, the loss of trees from a forest can leave soil more prone to erosion. This causes the remaining plants to become more vulnerable to fire as the forest shifts from being a closed, moist environment to an open, dry one. While deforestation can be permanent, this is not always the case.

Detailed explanation-2: -If forests are cleared, or even disturbed, they release carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. Forest loss and damage is the cause of around 10% of global warming. There’s simply no way we can fight the climate crisis if we don’t stop deforestation. We need to protect forests now more than ever.

Detailed explanation-3: -The conversion of forests into agricultural land is a big reason for deforestation. Due to overgrowing demand for food products, many trees are chopped down for crops and for cattle grazing. Over 40% of the forests are cleaned to obtain land and meet the needs of agriculture and wood.

Detailed explanation-4: -Plant a Tree where you can. Go paperless at home and in the office. Buy recycled products and then recycle them again. Buy certified wood products. Support the products of companies that are committed to reducing deforestation. Raise awareness in your circle and in your community. More items
