Deforestation

Forests are large areas where plants and trees grow naturally. These plants and trees provide food and shelter to numerous animals. Trees help in fertilizing the soil, control the wind and necessary for humans. Yet we humans are clear forests for our own selfish reasons. For eg. to obtain land for housing and agriculture, trees cut and used as wood etc. this cutting down of trees is called deforestation. Planting of trees is called afforestation. Deforestation and afforestation should go hand in hand to save the environment.
