Answer 2

DEFORESTATION :


Indiscrminate cutting of trees and clearing of forest increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere .


→ Causes for Deforestation :-
----------------------------------------------------

♣ Population Explosion :

with increase in Population accompanied by economic and technological Development , more and more land is required for roads, railways, housing , industries, schools and colleges forest is the only area from where land can be retrieved and Deforestation occurs.


♣ Wood For Industries and paper :

Wood is used for making boxes, crates, packing cases, furniture, doors, windows, plywood, paper, matchboxes, artwork, ships , boats, etc. with ever increasing consumption of these materials wood is always in short supply and forests are at the receiving end.


♣ Dam and Hydroelectric projects :

A large Forest area has to be cleared to construct dams for storing water. a large Forest cover is lost in this way.


♣ Fires :

Occurrence of fire in forest is a common phenomenon . once the fire starts it does not stop till it has caused a huge loss. fire destroys trees, seedlings and humans.


♣ Overgrazing :

Overgrazing of forests by livestock badly degrades forests leading to Deforestation.


♣ Smuggling of woods :

An illegal log market leads to unscrupulously felling of trees for their personal grains without consideration for national loss that it causes.



→ Effect of Deforestation :
-------------------------------------------------------

♣ Deforestation causes soil erosion leading to soil infertility.

♣ Deforestation causes formation of deserts.

♣ Deforestation​ cause change in rainfall pattern. The area receives less rainfall causing drought condition.

♣ Burning of wood causes increase in the concentration of Carbon-dioxide in the atmosphere. Reduces Photosynthesis, consumes less carbon dioxide adding CO2 concentration in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is green house gas and causes Global warming.



♣ In the absence of trees in the forest, the run off water flows faster into rivers causing flood condition.


♣ Forest are the natural habitat of many species of plants and animals, Due to Deforestation the home of these species are destroyed. Deforestation results in the Extinction of many species.


♣ Climatic changes takes place as a result of Deforestation, climate become warmer.



→ Conservation of forests :-
-----------------------------------------------------

The following measures are to be taken for the Conservation of forests :

♣ “ Tree for a Tree ” principle should be adopted. For every tree that has been felled, a tree should be planted . it is called Afforestation and when it is done on deforestated lands, it is called reforestation.


♣ wood as fuel should be discouraged.


♣ minimising cattle grazing at the same place.


♣ Forest Fires should be fought and brought under control as fast as possible.


♣ Awareness programmes should be conducted.



# About half of the Earth's forest have disappeared because man has been cutting them down without thinking of consequences.

# By cutting the forest man is putting his own survival at risk
