From trees to tarmac: The drivers and impacts of deforestation and sustainable solutions
Author(s): Sumit Kumar Mavi
Abstract: One of the most urgent environmental issues of our day is deforestation, which is fueled by logging, infrastructure development, and agricultural growth. The loss of biodiversity, disturbance of water cycles, and major impacts to climate change are only a few of the severe effects and complex causes of deforestation that are examined in this essay. It draws attention to the intricate relationship between environmental deterioration and economic progress, especially in places like India where fast expansion frequently clashes with forest preservation. The study examines several sustainable ways to stop deforestation, highlighting the significance of community involvement, reforestation initiatives, and sustainable forestry techniques. It also looks at important government programs that try to increase forest cover and encourage sustainable land use, like the Green India Mission and Joint Forest Management.
In order to stop deforestation, restore ecosystems, and guarantee the long-term health of our planet, the results ultimately highlight the critical need for concerted international effort and local involvement. This study promotes a holistic approach to forest conservation that strikes a balance between the need to preserve our essential forest resources and human needs by combining ecological, social, and economic viewpoints.
