HOW TO REDUCE HAZARDOUS EFFECTS OF DEFORESTATION

 

As we all know, deforestation is cutting of trees on large scale, but very few people know that forest plays an essential role in climate changing. Every tree release oxygen in the atmosphere in place of inhaling carbon dioxide from the atmosphere .Photosynthesis creates food for the tree. During photosynthesis, the leaves take in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. As part of this process, the tree releases oxygen which is used by people and animals when they breathe. Carbon dioxide is actually poisonous to the air-breathing life on the earth.
