With the destruction of forest there will be an imbalance which would have a negative effect on the environment. Endangered species of flora and fauna will become in danger of extinction‚ as well as climates and weather change‚ will occur. These can be in form of soil erosion‚ flooding and global warming.

human activity. Deforestation is the destruction of forests and woodlands. The term does not include the removal of industrial forests such as plantations of gums or pines. Deforestation has led to the reduction of forests to four-fifths of their pre-agricultural area. Forests now cover only 21% of the earth’s land surface. The rate at which deforestation is occurring is of great concern. Currently‚ 12 million hectares of forests are cleared annually! Almost all of this deforestation occurs in the
