3 .Fires
4 The construction of buildings.
5. Pests and diseases of trees.
CONSEQUENCES
Deforestation is caused by the creation of new farmland. By cutting down tress, man is also destroying the homes of endangered species .
Deforestation is the loss of carbon. When this greenhouse gas is reduced, man is aggravating the problem of global warming.
More consequences of deforestation :
1. Erosion of soil , which causes flooding or drought.
2. Climatic disturbances .
3. Reduced biodiversity of plants and animals.
4. Global warming of the earth. If there are no trees left, then nature cannot remove the excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
Solutions
An intelligent solution is prevention . Educational programs are great methods to inform citizens of our natural resources.
Save forests and use them rationally , without destroying the species .
