 Forestation
 Area where trees have grown naturally for centuries,
instead of being logged at maturity (about 150–200 years).
A natural, or old-growth, forest has a multistorey canopy
and includes young and very old trees (this gives the
canopy its range of heights).
 There are also fallen trees contributing to the very
complex ecosystem, which may support more than 150
species of mammals and many thousands of species of
insects. Globally forest is estimated to have covered
around 68 million sq km/26.25 million sq mi during
prehistoric times. By the late 1990s this is believed to have
been reduced by half to 34.1 million sq km/13.2 million sq
mi.
 Deforestation

 Deforestation is the removal of a forest or stand

of trees where the land is thereafter converted
to a nonforest use. Examples of deforestation
include conversion of forestland to agriculture
or urban use.
 Effects of Deforestation
 Disruption of the Water Cycle: Trees contribute
in a large way in maintaining the water cycle. They draw
up water via their roots, which is then released into the
atmosphere. A large part of the water that circulates in the
ecosystem of rainforests, for instance, remains inside the
plants. When these trees are cut down it results in the
climate getting drier in that area.

Loss of Biodiversity: The unique biodiversity of

various geographical areas is being lost on a scale that is
quite unprecedented. Even though tropical rainforests
make up just 6 percent of the surface area of the Earth,
about 80-90 percent of the entire species of the world exist
here.
 Effects of Deforestation
continuous

 Flooding and Drought: One of the vital

functions of forests is to absorb and store great
amounts of water quickly when there are heavy
rains. When forests are cut down, this regulation
of the flow of water is disrupted, which leads to
alternating periods of flood and then drought in
the affected area
Future of Deforestation effect

 In 2000 the United Nations Food and Agriculture

Organization (FAO) found that "the role of population
dynamics in a local setting may vary from decisive to
negligible," and that deforestation can result from "a
combination of population pressure and stagnating
economic, social and technological conditions.“
 According to the United Nations Framework Convention on
Climate Change (UNFCCC) secretariat, the overwhelming
direct cause of deforestation is agriculture. Subsistence
farming is responsible for 48% of deforestation; commercial
agriculture is responsible for 32% of deforestation; logging
is responsible for 14% of deforestation and fuel wood
removals make up 5% of deforestation
 Future of Deforestation effect
Continuous

 The effects are variable for every country too. Others

had problems of greenhouse gases, soil erosions,
limitless floods and other human catastrophes, and a lot
more. The rates of disasters due to deforestation are
only going sky high. The need to reverse the situation is
called for by all leaders of earth movement. If not
stopped, even human life can put to extinction in the
coming years.
 Conclusion

 True enough, deforestation statistics is not perfectly

accurate. However, we can see from our day to day lives
that the world has changed in so many ways. It is a good
thing if the world can progress yet remain to be untouched,
but what is happening now is something that should be
prevented even if it offers bigger benefits for humans.

 Even the seas are now dumped with cement and

transformed into dry lands for the construction of malls or
other company buildings. One day, the world may change
into a fully industrialized spot, and there would be no
room for nature to grow
