Deforestation has a massive impact on our environment. Forest destruction leads to biodiversity loss, causing various animal species to face fragmentation problems. This not only affects animals but can also make human life disruptive. When forests are cut down, the photosynthesis process is hindered, which increases the greenhouse effect. As a result, temperatures rise and climate change becomes more exacerbated. Furthermore, soil erosion increases, which is harmful to agriculture. Deforestation causes increased desertification and shows catastrophic climate changes. We should adopt mitigation methods, such as afforestation and agroforestry, which help maintain environmental sustainability. Additionally, through carbon sequestration, trees can absorb carbon, which reduces harmful pollutants in the atmosphere. If we do not take proper steps, its long-term repercussions can be dangerous for our future generations.
