    Deforestation is the removal of trees and clearing of forestland purposefully by mankind. Throughout the span of human existence, forests have been cleared for many reasons. It could be to make space for fields and agriculture, animal grazing, to get wood for fuel, manufacturing and/or construction. Now-a-days, the largest amount of deforestation occurs in the tropical rainforests; this was due to the road construction that go into regions that was once almost not accessible. Deforestation is not good for the environment because it destroys ecosystems, threatens the worlds biodiversity and releases a lot of carbon dioxide into the air.

I do like the idea of ...
