The effects of deforestation on our planet
Deforestation is taking away our environment and making a horrible place for the next generation.
Deforestation is bad because it is destroying our trees. Which helps the world by sucking in carbon dioxide and turning it into oxygen to breathe. Without trees, the world would be a place where nothing lived. From a satellite view, tropical forests are being destroyed at a rate of about 8 million hectares a year. That is 80,000 square kilometers a year, Auckland is this many square 1,102.9 so they are cutting down around 80 or 78 Auckland's a year.
When trees are cut down and burned or left to rot their inside carbon is released into the air as carbon dioxide. This is how deforestation is making global warming. 80 percent of the world's land animals and plants live in the bush and deforestation threatens species such as Sumatran tigers. When the trees get taken away it makes it hotter at night for the animals which makes them move to an unsafe place.
To prevent deforestation try and use less paper. Plant a tree, use recycled products, Buy sustainable wood, and don't buy anything with palm oil. Also, don't burn firewood expensively.
In conclusion, deforestation is making a bad place for this world and is killing great animals.
