                                      Pros and Cons of Deforestation

Scientists say that six thousand years ago more than two-thirds of central and northern Europe was covered by forest. Since that time more than half of those forests have disappeared due to an increased demand for agricultural land and the use of wood fuel. Sadly, our planet keeps losing its green cover and deforestation is a serious issue having its pros and cons.

One of the positive impacts of deforestation is that farmers can use more land to grow crops. It is a well-known fact that recently cleared land produces better yields of crops. Besides, deforested land is used for raising cattle. Another reason for cutting forests is that people need more space to build new cities and roads. The next benefit is lumber used to make furniture and build houses.

At the same time there are a few cons. Firstly, because of deforestation thousands of species of insects, plants and animals are becoming extinct. Secondly, it contributes to global warming and leads to soil erosion, flooding and droughts. Thirdly, when we destroy animal habitats, we push them closer and closer to our dwellings. This leads to new diseases spreading and killing millions of people. The most recent example is COVID-19.

In conclusion, while there are pros to cutting forests, we should consider potential consequences of all our activities.
