Trees are being cut down. we need
trees for many reasons and if we
don’t have trees, it will be
impossible for every living thing to
live
Look
at this horrible
stuff. So many people
are killing trees. So
many forests are
being cleared.
Introduction Paragraph
Deforestation has gone on for over a thousand years. It destroys
animal’s habitat or home. That’s because animals need the forests in
our world to live and survive. Deforestation takes away oxygen from
every living thing and trees are the living things that give us oxygen so
if you are cutting down trees you are taking away oxygen from every
living thing. People are trying to help but too many people are
deforesting the Earth than reforesting the Earth. Many people who
think deforestation should stop are wondering when and how the
enormous problem would stop.
Deforestationcutting down plants but mostly it
means cutting down a couple of trees
Destroys-crashed or breaking down
Habitat- an animal’s place to live
Survive- live when in danger
Oxygen-something that comes out of tress when they breathe, and is
something all living things need to live
Trees-a important type of plant
Earth-the planet that you live in
Reforesting-cutting down trees and planting new ones
Enormous-very, very huge
This guy
found and injured squirrel that has been injured since a tree
fell on his family and on him
Saving the animals living in the Amazon rainforest
The Amazon rainforest has some trees being cleared as well as the many
animals that live there. They are dying because their proper habitat is being
destroyed. Soon the Amazon rainforest trees are being killed and so are our loved
animals. Can you do something to help the deforestation stop? And can you help
our beloved animals? Pleassssssseee?

This shows that someone
has cut down a lot of trees from
the forests
How can we stop the enormous problem of deforestation? I’ll tell you how, we can
use fake wood, or use stone and rock and metal. You can paint it brown, than polish
it to make it look like wood. You can still make lots of great things without using so
much wood or you can reforest the Earth. So, what do ya think? Do you now think
you can help stop deforestation a little bit?
You can use stone
You can use metal
Deforestation can ruin Animals homes that they worked so hard on
It takes so much effort to plant a tree and how would you feel if it was cut
down by deforestation? How would you think a bird or squirrel would feel if the
tree it lives in has been cut down and so is its nest and hole? You would feel the
same way if you lost something precious from someone or something. That is one
part of why deforestation is a problem.
Think1. Would you care if an animal lost its home by
deforestation?
2. How would you feel if you lost something that you really
liked or was really important?
3. Would you be excited if you planted a tree and then it
gets destroyed?
4. Imagine how hard a squirrel would have worked to find
a good tree and then dig a hole in the tree
Deforestation increases the loss of the Ozone layer due to greater carbon
dioxide in the air. It makes holes in the Ozone layer which is pretty bad. The
Ozone layer protects us from the direct light and heat of the sun. The sun has
really bright light that it sends to the Earth but the heat is really hot. If the Ozone
layer falls apart the sun will sent really hot heat to the Earth. This is another part
that explains why deforestation is a problem for the planet. The Ozone Layer
