Deforestation

Picture a world without trees. Without trees, we won’t have clean air to breathe. Without forests, more parts of the top soil will erode each year, landslides will occur frequently, and floods will rise even when the amount of rainfall is low.  This is already happening, for example in Trinidad, the Diego Martin river begins to overflow and burst its banks after just 10 minutes of rainfall.

Trees have been cut down by humans since ancient times.

Why?

Well to build houses, furniture, and paper. 
Trees are essential for humans to survive. The wood from trees are used for shelter, as fuel, and to provide necessities. Don't you think that as humans we take advantage of what keeps us breathing?

The threat of deforestation is brought by the following:

• Converting forests to agricultural land to feed the population

• Cash crops and cattle ranching, both of these earn money for tropical countries

• Commercial logging destroys trees as well as clearing land for agricultural usage

There are moments, however, that deforestation can happen as an accident. Natural disasters such as volcanic eruptions can wipe out the whole of the forest. Although there is still hope! Through the efforts of many environmentalists(i.e. Nature Seekers), reforestation and conservation efforts (i.e. Melajo Forest Reserve) have brought back our forests. This will result in bringing our environment back to it's beautiful, majestic state.
