Deforestation
The word “Deforestation” is the opposite word of “Afforestation or Tree Plantation.” Its meaning is indiscriminately cutting down trees and destruction of forests.
Tree are men’s best friends because they give us foods, fruits, shelter, shade, flowers, clothes, rubber, gums, medicine etc. and maintain ecological balance. Many poor and unconscious people do not know their contributions and so they are cutting down trees for money. They also cut down trees for making dwelling-houses, furniture, cultivable lands, new roads etc. They cut down trees for getting firewood.
The climatologists believe that a country should have at least 25% forest lands for maintaining ecological balance. A country becomes a desert if it has no tree. So, it is seen that if any country has no sufficient trees, it falls into various natural disasters such as drought, storm, cyclone, flood etc. At the time of making food from the sun-light, trees take/absorb carbon di-oxide and emit oxygen. For deforestation, the quantity of oxygen is decreasing and the quantity of carbon di-oxide is increasing.
As a result, the temperature of the world is increasing day by day which is the cause of greenhouse effect. For the cause of greenhouse effect, the environment is being polluted. People suffer from various diseases for environmental pollution. Moreover, people are being deprived of sufficient food, fruits, vegetables and other necessary things.

We can save the country from deforestation by planting more trees. To be successful in this work, the literate people should do conscious the unconscious people. The government, NGOs and the mass media such as radio, television, newspaper etc. should come forward in this regard.
There are many pictures showing the functions and benefits of trees, and the cause and effects greenhouse effect of published by the Ministry of Environment. I can motivate the people practically showing these pictures to plant more trees.
Realizing the importance of tree plantation, every student should participate in the tree plantation program.
