Besides‚ deforestation increases the severity of global warming. All living plants store carbon (Venkataramanan‚ M & Smitha 2011). Unfortunately‚ we are currently destroying plants which are one of the best known mechanisms for storing carbon (Venkataramanan‚ M & Smitha 2011) besides oceanic processes such as solubility pump and biological pump through the burning of forests (Michael‚ E & Selin‚ H no date).

Its rapid population growth‚ poor agricultural practices and excessive wood harvesting has meant that 97% of the island is deforested with extensive soil erosion. Soil erosion has lowered the productivity of land decreasing agricultural
