Essay about Threat to forests.

 Threat to forests.

Forests have been endangered in many ways. Continuous climatic changes have become a series threat to forests causing severe damages. Increasing heat of the atmosphere has resulted in a scarcity of water in forest. This has made forests more vulnerable to insects and pests.

The warming of the atmosphere also paves the way to wild fires. Wild fires destroy large areas of forest cover sending out a lot of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Lots of forests areas obviously reduces the capacity to absorb carbon dioxide and badly affects the forest productivity.

Various human activities, too, have threatened the existence of forests. Traditional farming methods, like Chena cultivation, expanding of villages and farm land, and clearing forests for development projects have reduced the forest cover. 

If we do not take effective measures to conserve forest areas, there will only be grasslands instead of forests.
