Speech on Deforestation
Respected Principal, Teachers and my dear friends today I will be speaking on the topic deforestation, its causes and effects.
Deforestation is a process of cutting trees in forest on a large basis. Deforestation has many causes including natural causes such as hurricanes, floods etc. These types of deforestation are natural and are not intentional. When humans are involved in the process of deforestation, it affects the relation between animals and humans.
Human involvement includes dam construction, mining, building construction, agriculture expansion, roads etc. It is an intentional act which is permanent and destructive
Cutting a huge area of forest can cause reducing in quality and quantity of living beings. It snatches the homes of animals as well as birds. It also leads in floods, as trees are not available to absorb water releases from raining or any other activity. Now a days people are focusing on living a good life with good infrastructure, to create a standard for them trees are being cutted on a large basis to make them feel safe from the wild animals living in the native forest or Jungle.
Effects
As trees provide such as oxygen, help us to breathe it can be called as our lifeline. Deforestation not only affects lives but also our nature or environment.
1.) Effect on humans: – deforestation affect human life as it reduces the level of oxygen in the environment. As population is increasing the level of oxygen must increase. Deforestation can lead to end of some human lives because of decreasing of oxygen in environment.
2.) Effect on animals: – deforestation mostly affects the life of animals because it requires the area of habitat of animals. For wild animals forest is the home and only place where they can live peacefully and can roam freely. Because of deforestation wild animal’s life on earth has become difficult. Many wild animals are forced to leave forest because of deforestation and to roam around in humans, which can lead them to be killed.
3.) Effect on earth: – Deforestation mainly affects the nature as it reduces the amount of oxygen and increasing the amount of carbon dioxide. Deforestation creates hole in the ozone layer which allows harmful UV radiations inside the Earth which can cause skin cancer and cataract also.
Conclusion
We should plant more trees called as “Afforestation”. It is the most effective way to restore our environment. We should make it a habit of using things made up of wood or trees like paper, rubber, medicine etc. sustainably.
Government should help and avoid projects which require cutting trees to save the environment and to contribute to the healthy and safe life for humans as well animals. People should recycle things produced from trees and also use less paper or can be paperless whenever possible and to avoid palm oils. It is best to conduct campaigns and programs to promote reforestation in schools, offices, colleges etc.
