DeforestationDeforestation is the removal of forests or the cutting down of trees which will end up to be a damage to the quality of the land.Forests are cut down for many reasons, but most of them that are related to money or to peoples need to provide their families with shelter and many other things. Causes of deforestationAgricultural activities are one of the major factors affecting deforestation. Due to overgrowing demand for food products, huge amount of tress are fell down to grow crops and for cattle gazing. Oil and coal mining require considerable amount of forest land. Apart from this, roads and highways have to be built to make way for trucks and other equipment. The waste that comes out from mining pollutes the environment and effects the species living there. It is also caused by many forest fires.Could deforestation be good?Is deforestation beneficial? The reaction by most people including you would be "No way!".However, is this true? It could be a good thing because you can make many good things with it. Factories, Houses, buildings and products of wood and trees. Without deforestation, where would we be now? We would be lying on the ground without beds to sleep on or a place to live nor, would we have any T.Vs due to the absence of land where factories will be placed. In addition to this, we wouldnt have any tables, chairs, papers, pencils and therefore we wouldnt be able to study. So deforestation is good for us but, could it also be a bad thing for us.DEFORESTATION.A BAD THING?Deforestation is a bad thing for the animals and plants living in forests. The living things lose their habitat, homes and many other things. Furthermore it will change the climate of the place. As a result of this, it will cause global warming, flooding and many other dangerous things.

Therefore deforestation can be a good and a bad thing for the environment but, it would be better if we use a less amount of trees for deforestation
