Deforestation is a big problem worldwide, including in India. People cutting down trees for various reasons is causing harm to the environment. This has led to a decrease in global forest cover. In India, some areas have seen a decrease in forest cover due to activities like shifting cultivation and cutting down trees for development. This is affecting the climate, water cycle, soil, and wildlife in the country. To stop deforestation, we can use sustainable forest management, find alternatives to shifting cultivation, plant trees outside forests, and use certified forest products. These actions can help protect our forests and the environment.
