Question

Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow
Forests cover thirty per cent of the land area of the earth. People are aware of the vital role forests play in sustaining the balance in the climatic condition of earth. Yet forests of the size of Panama are destroyed every year. Such large destruction of forests is called deforestation. Forests are cut down for many reasons. The biggest driver of deforestation is agriculture. Farmers cut down adjacent forest areas to provide more land for farming and for pastures for grazing livestock. Logging operation, which provide for world's wood and paper products also cut countless tree every year. Forests are also cleared for land for the habitation of growing population. Not all deforestation is intentional. Some are caused by a combination of human and natural factors like wildfire and over grazing which prevents growth of young ones. Deforestation has many adverse effects on the environment. The most dramatic impact is the loss of habitat for millions of species. Seventy per cent of land animals and plants live in the forests. They cannot survive after deforestation. Deforestation also causes climate change. Trees play a vital role in absorbing greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide from entering earths atmosphere. Fewer forests means larger amount of greenhouse gases entering the atmosphere and increasing the severity of global warming. The quickest solution to the problem of deforestation would be simply to stop cutting trees. One must use forest resources by avoiding fell trees, so that the forest remain intact. The cutting when it is unavoidable must be compensated by planting enough young trees in place of the felled ones.
