Deforestation can impact the lithosphere by damaging the quality of the land. World's Rain-Forest could completely vanish in hundreds of years at the current rate of deforestation. Also loss of habitat for millions of species.  70% of earths animals live in the forest. Extreme temperature due to the removal of trees, and  the fewer forest there are, the larger amount of greenhouse gasses.  How can we mitigate this?
we can stop deforestation by stop cutting down trees. we can carefully manage forest resources by eliminating clear-cutting, and if they were to cut down trees, the cutting should be balanced.
