Deforestation

 Did you know that forest cover about 30% of this planet, produce oxygen for our aspiration, provide habitat for animals, home for people and about 1.6 billion of people rely on benefits forest offer, including food, cloth, fresh water and medicine. But now we live in modern world, in which technology and science are growing really fast well known as the innovation, beside that it also go with the damage to our environment and affect it badly, some of the common environment issue that we have to face, for example air pollution, noise pollution, ozone depletion, deforestation,… from all the issues that we face, I think the most important is deforestation, which is need to get a lot more concern from now because it will be dangerous in future if we don’t have serious concern to solve this issue. But first you need to have a look at it before you can think about the solutions for it.

What is deforestation? According to trustful Wikipedia It is clearance or clearing is the removal of a forest or stand of trees where the land is thereafter converted to a non-forest use. Examples of deforestation include conversion of forestland to farms, ranches, or urban use. Deforestation occurs for many purpose of people, such as when trees are cut down for fuel or for illegal sell. During the war deforestation was applied to destroy the enemy cover such as the used of Agent Orange in Vietnam War. Deforestation give more land for people, that they can build house, doing farming, more urbanization, more woods but as the result deforestation always left behind terrible consequence that is desertification which is further more danger and land will not be fertilize. It affect a lot to human and animals lost of habitat, biodiversity cause lost in species. No more trees doing the photosynthesis, so no more air for breath and more carbon will be produce. Like what I mention above that the soil erosion will make land become desertification and no longer people will not be able to do farming and live there, no more food, air to breath, our life quality will going down.

This is problem around the world and this occur in many countries such as Russia, Brazil, Indonesia, Mexico, Peru, USA, Vietnam, Nigeria… As I say deforestation is environment issue which is affect and make us become victim, not only human but also animals can get harmful. I think it time for us to stand up do something instead of watching our planet get destroy, I have some solution for this issue and that everybody can do it, for example we can plant young trees in place that old trees was cut down before, so that we can reforestation. Use recycle product to save less trees cut down and recycle things instead you throw it away, think twice before you do thing that could affect to our environment. Use renewable energy, such as in some developing countries they still using wood as fuel to cook and for other benefits, that must be stop so they could use solar, wind, electricity to do other activities. And finally we should teach children the important of forest and how to protect it before they make mistake like our people, that we can spread our knowledge to children to fight against deforest.

Forest are important for people, And I just ask question what if one day there are no more trees in the world and it would be disaster for us, no more oxygen to breath and you may ask yourself how long will you hold your breath.
