Deforestation

Deforestation caused by human activity is happening in many parts of the world, with serious results for the environment. What do you think can be done to solve this problem?

Deforestation has recently become a worldwide crime which causes severe impacts on nature, including animals and vegetation. It is reasonable for us to together find solutions for this serious problem.

Firstly, we need to build a strict system of laws for this crime. Is it worth that a man who logs a bunch of trees is prisoned half to at most a year, while the habitat needs hundreds of years to recover? You may easily say "no", but the problem is not that simple. Forests lie on extensive areas, so it is really difficult to keep them under control. Cooperating with people living on the edge of the forest and training them to be defenders of the environment is a suggest for the government. However, a nation only is not enough. All countries around the world, especially those sharing the border, have to unite to protect the forests of the others, because forests do not belong to any nation but all of us.

Building system of laws is a solution for the present, and education is the one for the future. Instead of teaching children that “Our country has numerous forests with great resources”, we have to tell young generations vital functions of the forests and the necessity to protect them. Moreover, schools may organize campaigns for the students to paint the walls in their neighborhoods with some slogans of inhibiting deforestation. The campaigns will greatly affect not only the students but also the locals with various ages.

Last but not least, any solution has to be performed by a group of people or nations. The more people join in, the more feat we achieve.
