The Issue of Deforestation
The global ecosystems are very dynamic. Therefore, the changes in the ecosystems
cannot be avoided. The environmental changes are fueled by natural as well as factors that result
from the activities of people. Some of the most common factors that have been studied so far by
scholars include the high rate of the growth of human population and the economic activities that
people participate in to facilitate their lives and the lives of people in their families. The factors
have grown to a level that is so alarming and therefore can no longer be ignored. The quality of
many aspects of the natural environments is reducing rapidly in the recent times. There is
pollution in the air, the water, and the soil because of the high rates of tree cutting. Another
primary source of environments pollution if the current world is emissions from industries and
engines such as vehicles as well as burning fossils. Forest depletion occurs by mechanisms that
include both deforestation as well as degradation of the existing forests. To discourage the
harmful practices that make the planet unsafe to live in, it is essential to discuss the various
issues independently. Deforestation, as already established is a big problem that needs to be
solved. However, to resolve the issue, it is crucial that scholars understand the importance of the
forest covers and various aspects of the problem to appreciate that the problem is going out of
hand.
The trees are essential for various reasons. Therefore, cutting them down is the invitation
of significant problems in the lives of organisms that live in the world. One of the importance of
trees is the assimilation of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and therefore purifies the air that
animals and other living things breath. Plants, unlike animals, use the carbon dioxide in the
atmosphere to make their food (Longobardi et al., 2016). Therefore, they purify the air and
reduce the amount of carbon dioxide that is introduced into the atmosphere by animals and other

factors like burning fire. Trees are also important in holding the soil together and therefore
prevent erosion. The absence of trees causes the soil to be loose and consequently prone to
erosion and leaching. Also, forests are homes to many organisms. The diverse forests are home
to many types of birds and other forms of wild organisms that depend on the forests for their
food and shelter as well as protection from predators. Trees are also known to attract rainfall.
