The Effect of Deforestation

As you know, these days the irregular nature is a part of many problems that is focused on. Those problems are air pollution, water pollution, environmental pollution, and natural disaster. They have been causing people and living things disaster on the earth seriously. These are because of deforestation, and there are three main consequences of deforestation.

The first consequence of deforestation is increased air pollution. Actually, the trees are very important for living things on the earth. Whenever the trees are cut down, the air pollution will increase. Why? This is because the trees remove carbon (in the form of carbon dioxide) from the atmosphere during the process of photosynthesis. If no trees, the smoke from the factories, cars, and buses will store co₂ back to the atmosphere, so those poison smoke will spread entire space. This means increased air pollution.

The second consequence of deforestation is reduced oxygen. As we already know, the oxygen that we are breathing is getting from converting co₂ to oxygen of the trees. In contrast, when deforestation occurs, trees are no longer available to absorb co₂ and provide the oxygen to the living things on the earth, so the oxygen will have unless the forests have.

The third consequence of deforestation is destruction of the environment. Actually, the trees are the main part that protects the environment. If no trees, the environment will be changed.  For example, climate becomes hotter and hotter because there aren’t forests to provide steam. Pollution will increase and damage caused to air, water, and soil. As we already know, Trees extract groundwater through their roots and release it into the atmosphere. Furthermore, Acid rain will increase and cause living things risk on the earth because of deforestation.

To sum up, what are three direct consequences of deforestation? As I have told you, increased air pollution, reduced oxygen, and destruction of the environment. I think that other natural disaster will happen if deforestation is still being continued.

 To sum up, the ways to stop these problems are to enforce the laws. The government have to make committee to control and to investigate, no discrimination, be control of implementation of rules, cooperate with people who live over there.
