In recent years, deforestation has become a quite significant issue all over the world because lack of forest brings about many serious problems on human lives and lack of oxygen In THE atmosphere. DESTROYING FORESTS CAN ALSO HAVE NEGATIVE IMPACTS ON OTHER LIVING CREATURES. Although there are many causes of deforestation, we can focus our attention on three prominent points: lack of education and awareness, clearing land for agriculture/FARMING together with greed of entrepreneurs.
To commence with, inadequate education and awareness can be regarded as the most remarkable cause of deforestation. It goes without saying that education is the key of everything. People should undoubtedly receive education in order to raise awareness about deforestation. For instance, an individual WHO HAS never gone to school cannot now know how important forests ARE and he/she WILL continue to destroy forests unconsciously. As a consequence, there are strong correlation between education and deforestation. (MY SENTENCE: An individual who has never gone to school may not be able to recognize the importance of forests. Therefore, there are chances of destroying the delicately balanced ecosystem by him/her.)
When it comes to clearing land for agriculture, the continual degradation of forest habitat is primarily due to human related causes/ACTIONS. Inasmuch as people need to HAVE more lands in order to cultivate crops, people have contributed to deforestation. For example, especially in Turkey in black sea regions, people who want to plant MORE hazelnuts, destroy MORE forests. The steps taken in this regard are the steps taken for existence of forests.?? (My sentence: more forest areas are being destroyed just becuase people want to to allow more room for planting hazelnut.)
Last but not least, ANOTHER important cause of deforestation is greed of entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurs who intend to become the chief and diamond of their sector compete with each other. Thus, forests are eradicated by huge companies in an attempt to fulfill their aims. They cannot take THE SIGNIFICANCE OF FORESTS into consideration because they only intend to make profits. To illustrate THIS FACT, an investor who wantS to build a company MAY eradicate large AREAS of forests. In brief, it would not be much of surprise to see that people will be confronted with many serious problems in the absence of forests.
In a nutshell, the obvious conclusion to be drawn would be that deforestation stems from lack of education and awareness as well as greed of entrepreneurs. Not only people but also government should pay due attention to forests. Moreover, government takes preventive measures so as to eliminate the problem of deforestation.
