Information about Deforestation

Thought i'd share the reason why rain forests and trees in particular, provide our world with many great resources such as oxygen, but many horrible events can occur if we keep cutting down trees. This is to also show to many why something needs to be done fast before all of these matters get worse.

1. Forests are the source of our oxygen
2. Forests help protect us from flooding and massive erosion
3. Forests are a valuable resource. Even though they are renewable...renewal is not automatic, we can harvest to the point where the soil is unprotected, washes away and we are unable to grow a new forest on the same location, we have lost our resource.
4. They are the backbone of many ecosystems, protecting them provides homes to many species.
5. Forests provide recreational activities for many.

the rain forests make most of the water that we can drink or use for plant growth.
some is condensed from the sea but that reaches only the coastal areas .
the bulk ,comes from the forests ,and the rivers come from the rainfall which comes from the trees ,
and the trees with precipitation,feed the rivers when it is not raining and keep them running all year round.

If we kill all the trees,we kill the rivers .we kill the rain. we kill us.
the trees also absorb the heat in the day and heat up the place in the night ,so they keep the temperature comfortable to live in.

another problem that has occurred is desertification. Desertification is a result of bad agricultural methods and deforestation, and as a result the desserts at nights are freezing cold and during the days you burn up.Desertification is a worldwide problem directly affecting 250 million people and more than 4 billion hectares of land one third of the Earth's surface area.
