Deforestation

The video discusses the rapid disappearance of forests due to deforestation, which is driven by the need for fuel, furniture, and agricultural land. Tropical rainforests, home to a vast number of species, are particularly affected, leading to significant biodiversity loss. Trees play a crucial role in maintaining ecological balance by supporting soil stability, climate regulation, and nutrient cycling. Deforestation contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions, exacerbating climate change. Sustainable forestry practices, such as replanting trees, are essential to preserving the planet's ecological balance.
