Answer:
It is an irrefutable fact that trees and plants are the only living objects that release oxygen as their by-product. Oxygen is the prime factor responsible for life on earth. However, in the past few decades, because of human activities, the number of trees are cut down, forests are cleared for both residential and commercial reasons, which as a result has an adverse effect on the environment as well as the climate of the world. This mass clearance of tress is the major cause behind deforestation.
Being mindful of the above stated facts, Government of the all the nations should collaborate and take action against the defaulters responsible for the illegal land clearing activities. Apart from the measures taken by the government authorities, individuals must also take appropriate steps ensuring reduction in chopping of trees.
Owing to the current scenario, at the very outset, people should adopt the policy of resuse, recycle of paper and other products obtained from trees, It is undeniable that trees are the only alternative to produce wood and hence cutting cannot be completely barred. Nevertheless, one should plant two tress when cut down one. Furthermore, forest area is also cleared to accommodate more and more population, therefore, population control might also positively affect deforestation.
On this account let me make my point clear by using an illustration. In early 70's, India adopted a movement popularly known as "the Chipko movement" to prevent cutting of trees. What actually happened was, people used to hug trees so the woodcutters are unable to chop the tree they aim at. Because of this movement, there was a surprising fall in cutting of trees.
In the light of aforesaid aspects, I hold the view that, it is high time when we should all pledge towards the betterment of the environment by ruling out the effects of deforestation, which in turn is only possible when we actively take part on plantation amd minimize the cutting of trees.
