Trees are used in making papers. About 17 fully grown trees are used to make one tonne of paper. So wastage of paper is also a cause of deforestation. Therefore, we should recycle and save the papers. If we save papers, we can save many trees in a year. In this way, recycling and saving of papers is directly related to avoid the deforestation.
4.
Aeforestation is restocking of the destroyed forests by planting new trees.
(i) It retains our green wealth for future generations.
(ii) It also aims at preservation and conservation of natural forests and meeting the basic needs of the people living in or near the forests.

ii) Reduction in the availability of food sources forces the animal to seek alternate sources. Thus, drawing them towards human habitation.
iii) Habitat degradation, forest fragmentation and change in agricultural pattern are the major reasons why wild animals enter human habitation.
7.

12.
Earth
The various cycles on earth like water, oxygen, carbon dioxide are disturbed due to deforestation. Also, the fertile land of earth is converted into dry land, i.e. desertification occurs by deforestation.
13.
Environment
Deforestation increases the amount of CO2 in the environment. Due to this, the water cycle is disturbed which may lead to drought. It also reduces the water holding capacity of soil that leads to flood.
