capturing the forests and making big buildings. Deforestation not only involves the tree destruction but also manages the wild animals. They as much block the natural circle and this ultimately results into race destruction. This action has long-lasting effect on the survival of human race.

from the forest forms clouds above the area and later falls as rain. When rain forests are cut down‚ much of the moisture in the ecosystem is lost‚ leading to droughts and further devastation of species. More than half of the world ’s estimated 10 million species of plants‚ animals and insects live in the tropical rainforests and one fifth of the world ’s fresh water is in the Amazon Basin (Rainforest Facts‚ 1996). To understand why deforestation is such a pressing and urgent issue‚ forests must first

Earth without forests is a picture that most of humankind could not presently conceive. Unfortunately‚ the Amazon Rainforest is on this path of devastation.

It is widely known that trees across the globe are disappearing‚ but much of the general public is uninformed how urgent and serious the threats

The tropical rain forests once blanketed the Earth like a wide green belt around the equator. Just a few thousand years ago forests covered 14 percent of the Earth ’s land surface‚ or 5 billion acres. Humans already have destroyed half of this rain forest area‚ with most damage occurring in the last 200 years. Many of the main causes of the rainforest destruction include: logging‚ agriculture-shifted‚ cultivators‚ agricultures-cash‚ crops and cattle‚ ranching‚ fuelwood‚ large dams‚ mining and
