A green problem…

Forests are a place for the beauty of our planet and its inhabitants and creatures. Forests are a source of oxygen for the atmosphere, a source of food for humans and animals.

One of the global problems in the world today is the drastic reduction of forests. Forests are the «lungs» of our planet, and this factor is very important in maintaining the ecological condition of the planet, its flora and fauna. However, since the 20th century, the sharp increase in the world population, the increase in human demand for wood and the increase in the production volume of industrial products, the expansion of the land used in agriculture are causing the reduction of the area of forests. Deforestation is observed especially in the regions of Asia, Africa and South America. Currently, 75 percent of the world's forests have been destroyed by the 21st century. Currently, only 22 percent of the forests have not been damaged. Every year, millions of hectares of forest areas are destroyed in the world. Of course, in order to end this tragedy, the world community held a meeting on this topic in Rio de Janeiro in 1992. The United Nations also developed a special resolution on this topic. But uncontrolled deforestation continues in countries such as Peru, Bolivia and Venezuela. In Brazil, about 1/3 of the Amazon forest has been destroyed. Forests in countries such as Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, and Vietnam have also been drastically reduced over the past 50-40 years.If this situation does not change in the near future, it may lead to the destruction of the world. There are countries that are active in forest conservation. These are countries such as Canada, the USA and Russia, in these countries uncontrolled deforestation is prohibited and special laws have been adopted.

Deforestation can be stopped. These are: establishing nature reserves, conducting fire prevention talks with residents, planting new trees in new areas, developing new laws to preserve forests, and organizing environmental activities.Establishing reserves is one of the most effective ways. Currently, there are more than 2,000 nature reserves in the world.Conversations with residents to prevent forest fires are very effective. Currently, such work is being carried out in Russia and Canada.Planting trees in new areas is the most effective way to reforest millions of square kilometers.Development of new forest conservation laws is very relevant and impactful. Such laws have been adopted in countries such as Finland, Norway and Russia.It is the duty of each of us to preserve nature, and forests are a miracle of nature, and it is the duty of every person on the planet to preserve this miracle and preserve it for future generations.
