The increasing industrialization and consumerism, forests are being cut in huge quantities. Deforestation is being done, especially in tropical forests. The forests are being cut at a rapid pace due to increasing demand for wood-fuel, increasing demand for timber and agro-based industries, increasing raw material and non-vegetarian food. Cutting forests provides paper, pulp, furniture, and wood coal, which gives the national income, but deforestation also has far-reaching adverse consequences. For example, cutting forests increases soil erosion, flooding. And the frequency of drought increases, the soil gets deposited in the way of rivers, which makes the way of rivers shallow which increases the chances of flooding.
