Forest Deforestation

Forest Deforestation is one of the major issues that has been happening in this world, the cost that this issue brings is one that, us as humans will never be able to pay for. This issue is only making it harder for future generations to survive longer. An easy definition of this problem is that human power is destroying the forests of this world for a better living for humans. Although getting rid of the trees for a better living for humans seems like a good thing, this better living has consequences that rule out all of the good things that come out of it because we are destroying the world. Another name for this problem is Forest Holocaust. The problem about deforestation is that humans are getting rid of trees at a high rate since the 1900s and that rate increases more and more as you finish reading this sentence. This issue HAS to be solved or future generations will never exist because we were too selfish to only think of ourselves and not do anything about the problem.
The problem with deforestation and one major problem to this is habitat loss to all the species who live in that habitat where the forest is being decreased. So many species who are dependable on their natural habitat to survive will have to either die or adopt to a newer habitat where they will have to start all over again. Although it seems as f they can start all over again it is not very possible due to that over 70% of the trees will be destroyed the animals that wont be able to adapt will have to die, because their habitat will be gone with those trees that are going to be used to make the better living for humans.
According to National Geographic climate change is another negative that will come off deforestation the heat that would had been blocked by the trees will not be blocked and the heat will be trapped in the ground, leading to harming the water cycle where trees played an important role in it. Without the trees releasing the water vapors back to the atmosphere and in a few years or less this beautiful grassland will eventually turn into a desert. What this means is that the earth will eventually become nothing but barren sand and it will be hard for plants to reproduce and multiply and maybe become extinct because humans are not doing anything drastic to change the fate of the earth.
This problem has to stop or at least we as humans should act now and fast to change this because if we keep going without doing anything global warming will increase due to the high levels of greenhouse gases not being absorbed and just remaining in the atmosphere and again also leading to climate changes to the world. So deforestation absorbs the greenhouse gases that are not wanted in our living societies.
In this world most things have many sides tot he story there is always a good and bad side to everything a small good thing about this is that many humans who cut trees can make room for farming and survive off of that, build new roads possibly better roads new houses for people who lost their previous house to a fire or a natural disaster. To someone who is looking for the best for people like those who lost their houses or just trying to survive can be good but the heavy negative impact that deforestation can't be compared because the negative will always win.
Deforestation is big problem that cannot be ignored this issue is one of the keys to the end of the world, many species depend on the trees and plants to survive but without them how can they survive if we are destroying it, if those species die and become extinct humans are also dependent on those species for food if they are gone we will also be gone few years after they leave. Because just one small alteration to species food web it can lead to the end of the world. A solution to this issue is so simple to stop cutting trees or to reduce the percent of cutting trees to a low percent but homosapiens are so selfish and can only think of themselves and can never put anyone before themselves or balance the cutting of trees and cut when it's really instead for pleasure and satisfaction, or maybe dor every tree being cut down 2 should be planted to replace the one gone and if people do not want to follow the law they can be fined. If all humans on this planet thought of a better tomorrow together maybe the earth can last longer and our future generations will look upon the day when we their ancestors made a change that impacted their lives in a good way.
