Deforestation

Habibur Rashid Ismail, JRF Madrasa, Chittagong
Some people do not try to realise the importance of trees. They cut trees at random. This way, due to deforestation carbon dioxide is increasing worldwide. As a result, the world is becoming warmer. The sea level is rising and many parts of the world are going to be engulfed by the sea in near future. On the other hand, new areas of the world are turning into deserts because of deforestation. The removal of trees causes birds and other animals living on them to leave the place. It also causes serious damage to the soil, as trees give protection to soil as well. In the end, the soil gets sediment in the riverbed and causes frequent floods. So, if we destroy trees at random, one day the country will turn into a great desert. The living animals and birds will not find any food or shelter to live in. They will be destroyed. There will be no rain and consequently our agriculture will face a great crisis. In the circumstances, immediate measures need to be taken to prevent deforestation.
