Welcome back to another valuable content on this blog, Today we will focus on Geography analysis on major problems that effect deforestation on humans and animals in the worlds . it is on of the major environmental problems that has plague both humans, plants and animals in this 21st century various adverse consequence which affects both humans and animals directly and indirectly. Deforestation is the most one of the problems faced by the worlds today, Deforestation can also be seen as removal of forest leading to several imbalances, both ecologically and environmentalists.
What makes deforestation alarming is the immediate and long term effects it is bond to inflict if continues at the current pace. Let’s us discuss the effect of deforestation on humans and animals.
Firstly, To know the meaning of deforestation.
According to National Geography analysis,
“Deforestation is clearing of forest cove or the tree plantation to accommodate agricultural, industrial or urban use.
Forests still cover about 30 percent of the world ‘so land areas,but swatch the size of panama are lost each and every years. The worlds rains forest could completely vanish in a hundred years at the current rate of deforestation.”
Top 8 Effects Of Deforestation On Humans And Animals
Below are the consequence of deforestation on humans and animals.
- Flooding
- Soil Erosion
- Lost of Habits
- Low life Quality
- Health effects
- Low Agricultural produces
- Global warming and climate changes
- Hydrological Effects
1. Flooding
Further effects of deforestation on humans including coastal flooding. Trees help the land retain water and topsoil, which provides the rich nutrients to sustain additional forest land .
Without forests, the soil eroded and washed away, causing farmers to move on and perpetuate the cycle.
2. Soils Erosion
Soil Erosion is one of the problems that effect deforestation on humans because as Soil Erosion happen, both humans and animals movement from one place to another, agricultural production, and even access to potable water can be adverse affected.
Deforestation weakness and degrade the soil. Forested soil are usually not only riches in organic matter, but also more resistant to erosion, bad weather,and extreme weather events.
3. Lost of Habits
Lost of Habits ; it is also one of the effects deforestation on humans and animals. 70 percent of land animals and plants species live in forests. The trees of the rainforest that provide shelter for some species also regulated the temperature.
Cleaning of forested area exposed the earth to unfavourable conditions which consequently leads to be destruction of innumerable species Habits at the forested sustain the life of various animals and plants in communities.
This causing majority plants and animals to adapt to unfavourable conditions and If they can not adapt, they either migrate to greener pastures or die off.
4. Low life Quality
Deforestation is a major contributors to intense heat in various parts of the spanning from the United States in India even many parts of the Middle East and increase rainfall in tropical rainforest areas including West Africa and South America.
This lowest to qualify of living as noticed in many parts of the Middle east,south America and Africa causing various problems that eventually lead to death if not handled timely.
Deforestation decrease the availability of staple food and hence decreases the quality of time.
5. Health Effects
Health effects are one of the effects of deforestation on humans. Deforestation disruption the balance of nature. Deforestation result in the death of various species of plants and animals that both help in mechacine production and indirectly prevent disease exposure to people.
Deforestation aslo exposed plants and animals which are dangerous to humans Health including zoonotic diseases. Deforestation can also create a path for nor-native species to flourish such as certain types of snail, which have been correlation with an increase in schistosomiasis cases.
6. Low Agricultural production
Deforestation consequence leads to varied rainfall patterns which in turn leads to extreme heat or intense rainfall. This disruption planting and harvesting periods majorily in rural areas. This in turn affects crops yield causing low Agricultural produces.
Deforestation aslo exposed the soil extreme conditions which kill microorganisms which aids the development and growth of leading to low Agricultural yields.
7. Global warming and climate changes
Global warming and climate changes are some of the effects of deforestation on humans as the trees reduce the amount of sunlight that reaches the ground giving an ambulance temperature.
Tress also acts as sinks for carbon dioxide which is a major cause of global warming and climate changes because the trees take in carbon dioxide and some these greenhouse gases and gives out oxygen.
The distribution of tree would cause a great number of greenhouse gases to be released into the atmosphere increase rated of global warming.
8. Hydrological Effects
The Water cycle is the one provides effects of deforestation on humans and animals. Trees extract groundwater through their roots and released it into the atmosphere. When parts of a forest is removal,the trees no longer transpire this water, resulting in a much drier climate.
Deforestation reduced the contents of water in the soil and groundwater as well as atmospheric moisture. The dry soil leads to a lower water intake for the tress extract .deforestation reduced soils cohesion.
conclusion
Deforestation is changes our climate, harming people and the national worlds. To provide an essential solution show global warming, forests across planet are at risk. With the help of government the strong coalition like leaf, we feel hopeful that we can protect forest and avoid worst impacts of climate changes.
