Deforestation has been spreading throughout the globe for various years now, which causes harmful effects on the habitats of the existing different species and the human living environment. Thus, it is essential to conduct immediately a variety of solutions in order to retain the lungs of the earth and our environmental wellness.
In order to grow sustainably and maintain a well preserved planet for future generations, governments in each country need to impose strict regulations on logging, textil, and industries in general to impede the excessive exploitation of wood. Applying firmer penalties for illegal logging and destruction of forests is also imperative to reinforce the concurrence of forest protection laws.
On the other hand, there must be an extensive propagation of the significance of forests combined with campaigns which promote awareness of environmental issues to the public. People should be educated to respect the natural environment as well as the meaningful existence of woodlands to our planet from an early age. As a result, a sense of responsibility for safeguarding forests can be established in communities and measures for forest conservation not only gain greater support but also to be practised widely.
To sum up, every part of the world should assume responsibility for obstructing deforestation because forests are a wonderful gift for our planet which helps sustain biodiversity and environmental well being.
Think locally, act globally.
