Deforestation has improved the quality of
living.
However, it has unforeseen effects:
Loss of
fuel wood, means depriving soil of
nutrition, leads to a receding forest. It causes an increase in rainfall,
risks of flooding and soil erosion.
 A
loss of trees emits a high concentration of carbon dioxide and other
greenhouse gases, which cause
greenhouse effect and increase global temperature slowly.
 It also
leads to a drier atmosphere that
increases the risk of forest fires.
   
The watershed protection of the forest
diminishes, leading to stream erosion, loss of fisheries and water supply,
as well as the loss of reaction.
Destruction
of natural habitats and loss of species and about 600 species
have been extinct every year due to deforestation of tropical rain forests.
