Decreasing deforestation

Deforestation has taken over lots of lives from the animals and plants in the forest. Deforestation has also caused many other things to the environment like floods and more.

This is why I think we should decrease the amount of logging there has been. We need to use as little paper and timber and more things that are made out of wood. The reason why I'm saying this is because the logging industries have been cutting so much wood, it's getting really dry for the animals for the animals to to live.

If we cut down too many trees, oxygen will run out because trees gets the carbon dioxide and release oxygen; then every creature in the world including us humans will not be able to breathe and live.

When trees are removed plants that are attached are also removed, so the plants die with the tree.

Experts has estimated that with deforestation,137 species of plants and animals have died every day. This means  about 50 thousand species of plants and animals are lost in a year.

Deforest was blamed for many floods around the world. When trees are there, the roots are able to "strengthen" the soil and prevent erosion. They also absorb some of the water, decreasing how much water is in the soil. When the roots are gone from trees after deforestation, there's nothing to strengthen the soil anymore. Hence, the soil can slide around a lot more and the water is able to build on the surface causing the flood to happen

Another way to stop this is by doing a less damaging method of logging. This is called the strip logging. By doing it like this, Only a small strip of wood from trees in the forest is logged. This will allow the plants and trees to regrow by producing a gap while logging.

I hope we cover this problem of deforestation sooner other than later. The wildlife needs help!
