Tree-cutting

Published on: March 29, 2019 4:08 AM

Sir: It is proven that a few centuries ago, the world was quietly surrounded by trees. But with the passage of time the people initiated chopping down the trees for several purposes. As apart from others, 2700 trees are being cut down every day in the world only for making tissue papers. Besides this they are being hewed down to get land for agriculture, new roads and towns, hydroelectric dams, mining to achieve oil, get wood for commercial purposes and lawless cutting for money are common.

Owing to which not only biodiversity is being poorly affected, but also the dry climate, global warming, decline of species, flood, shortage of oxygen in the air and reduced rain are also the cause of chopping trees or deforestation. Ultimately, the government is pleaded to forbid the cutting down of trees, despite grow as more as it can, and the people has to know that the trees are the best source of providing Oxygen and observing (CO2) in the air, whose scarcity spreads different viruses and diseases in the globe.
