Natural resources provide us all essential components required for our survival but its overexploitation by us has led to many problems. Most serious example of this overexploitation is deforestation and over extraction of fossil fuels.
Deforestation is defined as cutting of trees at a large scale and rapid rate. As the population is increasing, deforestation is done for residential, agricultural and other basic requirements.
Deforestation causes the permanent destruction of forest that result in disturbance of biogeochemical cycles so it should be controlled.
