Many parts of the world are losing important natural resources, such as forests, animals or clean water. Choose one resource that is disappearing and explain why it needs to be saved. Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.
For centuries, millions of species on planet earth have peacefully co-existed, supporting each other while thriving off of the resources provided by mother nature. These resources include forests which provide a habitat for animals to survive, along with clean water necessary for survival of any living being and form an ecosystem dependant on each of these components. Even if one of these elements is used excessively, it disturbs the entire eco-system and threatens the health of the very planet we call home. Rapid industrialisation and advancements in technology have increased the need for mankind to acquire more and more
land
which is done at the expense of destroying forests. In this
essay I would briefly discuss why the disappearance of forests is catastrophic for us and elaborate why they need to be saved.
To begin
with, forests are a major part of the ecology of planet earth. They produce oxygen necessary for survival of all sentient beings, provide food for humans and animals alike, provide shelter for countless birds, rodents and other animals; keep the soil from erosion around the river banks, protecting the landscape, and countless other benefits. In the last
few decades, land
reclamation has been the major cause of destruction of forests. This
has lead to a drastic increase in global warming and pollution, so much so that the air quality in some major cities of the world such
as Shanghai and Lahore is squalid and unbreathable
without some filtration. Not only hard to defeat

this
, but cutting down trees on an industrial scale along river banks has changed the landscape drastically. It has forced riverside human settlements to migrate. One such
incident took place in Attabad, where a landslide caused by erosion of the sand blocked a river path, creating a lake and forcing people living in the area to abandon. This
could have easily been avoided had there been trees preventing soil erosion.
To conclude, cutting down trees and reclaiming land
Suggestion
the land
from
forests has had a significantly adverse effect on human populations living around the globe. It causes mass migrations and makes Suggestion
of
land
inhabitable, not only for humans, but also
for millions of other species dependent on forests.Submitted by musab.mehboob on
