Explanation:
Rainforests around the world still continue to fall. Does it really make a difference? Why should anyone care if some plants, animals, mushrooms, and microorganisms perish? Rainforests are often hot and humid, difficult to reach, insect-ridden, and have elusive wildlife.
Actually the concern should not be about losing a few plants and animals; mankind stands to lose much more. By destroying the tropical forests, we risk our own quality of life, gamble with the stability of climate and local weather, threaten the existence of other species, and undermine the valuable services provided by biological diversity.
While in most areas environmental degradation has yet to reach a crisis level where entire systems are collapsing, it is important to examine some of the effects of existing environmental impoverishment and to forecast some of the potential repercussions of forest loss. Continuing loss of natural systems could make human activities increasingly vulnerable to ecological surprises in the future.
The most immediate impact of deforestation occurs at the local level with the loss of ecological services provided by tropical rainforests and related ecosystems. Such habitats afford humans valuable services such as erosion prevention, flood control, water filtration, fisheries protection, and pollination—functions that are particularly important to the world's poorest people, who rely on natural resources for their everyday survival. Forest loss also reduces the availability of renewable resources like timber, medicinal plants, nuts and fruit, and game.
Over the longer term, deforestation of tropical rainforests can have a broader impact, affecting global climate and biodiversity. These changes are more challenging to observe and forecast from local effects, since they take place over a longer time scale and can be difficult to measure.

Deforestation - The cutting down of trees or clearing of forests.
Now,
How deforestation poses a threat to your health and safety?
Answer -
As we got the meaning of deforestation we can get the answer easily.
We know that forests(trees) are the lungs of our Earth. They absorb Carbon Dioxide from the surrounding. There is a continuous release of Carbon Dioxide in the atmosphere by various activities like breathing process, from vehicles, machines, industries, etc. If we cut down the trees then there will be an increase in Carbon Dioxide in the atmosphere as compared to forests.
Carbon Dioxide will absorb heat from the sun and the temperature of the earth will increase. And the uneven heating of Earth causes Global Warming.
Due to global warming,
- The glaciers will start melting, and water bodies will overflow and flood may occur.
- There will be an imbalance in nature, the season will be changed.
- And, human will also suffer from other organisms. They will face disaster, flood, uneven heating temperature.
So, deforestation directly or indirectly poses a threat to their healths and safety.
