To understand the importance of our trees you must first know where we would be without them. If our Earth didn’t have any trees the levels of our “greenhouse” gases would dramatically increase causing us to burn in the non-escaping heat trapped by the abnormally high gasses.

Deforestation affects the climate of an area because the weather patterns will change. It will disrupt cycles on the eath. For example the carbon cycle will be disrupted because forests act as a major carbon store. The water cycle trees draw round water up through there roots and release it in the atmosphere. Also if there are additional green house gases, there will be a slight increase in weather patterns, sea levels and other cycles in nature that directly on Earth.

When we cut our forest down we are not only hurting our climate we are interrupts our whole worlds ecosystem. Every time we cut down trees thousands of animals lose their habitat and die off. That is why a lot of animals are endangered now.

We can help by recycling paper, plastic and glass. Instead of wanting new land knock down one of our many unused buildings, don’t cut trees. Also we can make a deforestation awareness day and sell green ribbons for the cause and donate it to tree hatcheries buy new land to plant on.
