Introduction:
Deforestation is the destruction of forests and woods. It is affecting our environment and the way our earth appears. At least eighty percent of our forests have been destroyed. Our rain forests are disappearing.
Causes:
When trees are cut down to grow crops, for livestock, logging and forest fire, deforestation takes place. These woods are cut down to make buildings, furniture, roads and firewood. Trees are also cut down to create new neighborhoods and to make space for people to live in. Although there may be a need to cut down trees to some extent, humans and other species need to protect the forests and woodlands.
Deforestation is a major threat to Bangladesh. The causes of deforestation are many. Bangladesh is a densely populated country. Its population is much more in proportion than its area. This huge number of population needs more shelter, agricultural land, fuel, furniture etc. For all these reasons people cut trees. Moreover there are some dishonest people who cut trees in our forests to make money.
Effects:
They effects of deforestation are too many to describe. This destruction disturbs our ecological balance.Trees are not just beautiful; they also house many different kinds of plants and animals that could become extinct with deforestation. They also provide good things for humans and for the environment.
Deforestation disrupts the carbon cycle. The forest trees take in carbon dioxide as well as pollutants from the atmosphere. When the trees are destroyed or burned, more carbon dioxide is released in the air and less of it is absorbed by trees. This can result in the Green house effect. The green house effect in turn can cause Global warming which is devastating for our environment.
A lot of our medicines come from the forests. Deforestation affects our water, too. It also causes serious damage to the soil, as trees give protection to soil as well. Hence soil erosion can increase due to lack of sufficient trees. This can also result in floods and other natural disasters, especially in low lying countries such as Bangladesh.
Remedies and Conclusion:
We must all join hands to prevent deforestation, each in our little way. The world did exist before the making of paper. A lot of things like paper kitchen towels, facial tissues can be avoided if only we are not so obsessed with the word disposable. So, we should go for that which is reusable and recyclable instead. People should be made aware of the dangers of deforestation through mass media. Tree plantation programs should be extended throughout the Bangladesh as well as the world.
Conclusion:
Our trees are our legacy given to us by our ancestors. It is the legacy we will leave to our own. Therefore, we must work together in eradicating deforestation and make the world a better place for us and our future generation.
