Author: Deforestation is occuring at an alarming rate...
It's done for many reasons. Sometimes the trees or charcoal made from burning them are used as, or sold, for fuel or as a commodity.
Sometimes land is cleared for use as pasture for livestock, farms, and settlements.
The problem is that the removal of trees without sufficient reforestation has resulted in damage to habitat, and caused loss of biodiversity and contributed to aridity.
And of course it also means less carbon dioxide is being removed from the air, and oxygen being put back in.
Worse, deforestation commonly causes significant soil erosion, and the deforested land frequently degrades into a wasteland.

And then the second half... deforestation.
It's not hard to see which is better!

Teenage boys take on the issue of deforestation...
All ages need to be involved with this issue. People need to think. We need oxygen to breath, and trees are an important resource!!! And that's just a small part of the things they do for the environment. Trees are a renewable resource, but they need to be renewed!
