Effect on Health

Deforestation leads to an imbalance in biodiversity. Many animals lost their habitat due to deforestation. Increased levels of greenhouse gases like methane and carbon dioxide affect the health of humans in a bad way. A low level of Oxygen leads to many respiratory problems. Due to Global warming, the intensity of the ozone layer decreases, which leads to the direct arrival of ultraviolet rays from the sun on Earth. Direct exposure of people to ultraviolet rays leads to many skin diseases and eye problems.

To save mother earth, it is very important to conserve our plants and animals. The backbone of our planet is plants and animals so it is our responsibility to conserve the treasure given to us by our planet. Richness of flora and fauna can be increased by conserving plants and animals because they enrich biodiversity. The main problem is caused by the cutting of plants or deforestation. Preventing the conditions in which animals can die on their own will be very helpful in conserving them. Moreover, it is the same case for plants where providing them more nutrition will be helpful. Preserving the resources for the future generation is very important for us to conserve plants and animals. Usually, conserving those species of animals and plants which are going to get extinct can help in preserving the diversity of flora and fauna. There are many ways by which we can save plants and animals. The causes due to deforestation are also discussed in the article along with their consequences so let’s get started.
