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.
