Deforestation =((

Do you use a lot paper? Yes, then you are either wasting or using a lot of trees. Some of the reasons people log are for paper, but the real reason is either for big projects such as stores and also illegal logging.
There are several reasons why people log, such as things for houses. People log for paper and also to make other things such as wood for houses, tabels, etc. We use wood for lots of things. Even things that you don't know is wood we are using that come from big forest that are being cut down. When we use so much of it, that is when we lots of our forests. It is sad, so help out the forests and recycle.
The real reasons loggers log, are because they either need to make room for farms or big projects like stores, also illegal logging hurts the forests too. Each year 32 million acres of forests are lost according to the Nature Conservancy.For an example what is poachers for animals are illegal loggers for forests. Count to two, a football field sized area of forest has just been cut down. That is all done by logging, not just legal but also illegal. This is all done usually for and from cattle grazing , agriculture, mining, oil, people, dams, pipelines and other big projects.
Trees make oxygen for us to breathe but if we have no trees then we have no oxygen.
"if the forests are the Earth's lungs, then mother nature is having a hard time breathing."
The trees and plants have a very important role in how our climate stays steady and under control. Trees hold on to our greenhouse gasses. When those trees are destroyed or cut down they let the gasses they were storing in their leaves and let them go into the Earth's atmosphere. That is very bad for the Earth's ozone layer. The gasses they hold are water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, ozone. This loss of trees or forests are increasing global warming.
