Unfortunately, people only started to listen until it was almost too late. Deforestation occurs when areas with many trees (forests) are converted to areas with few or no trees. Why does this happen? It can happen for several reasons, some of them natural and some of them caused by people. Deforestation can occur naturally as a result of forest fires, severe weather, or natural disasters (such as volcanic eruptions or tsunamis). It can also occur as a result of commercial logging, urban sprawl, or the need for open land for agriculture, livestock grazing, or mining. Whatever the cause, deforestation has many effects, and some of them can be quite serious. Deforestation obviously destroys the environment and kills the plants living in the affected area. It also removes the habitat for countless other animal species. Therefore, deforestation reduces biodiversity and accelerates the pace of extinction. It can also negatively affect climate patterns by disrupting the natural balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide. In addition, deforestation alters the amount of water in the soil and can create an environment more vulnerable to severe floods. Tropical rainforests once covered nearly 14 percent of the worlds land surface. Today, because of deforestation, they only cover 6 percent. Scientists and researchers believe that, unless deforestation is slowed, all of the worlds rainforests could be gone in 40 years. South Americas Amazon rainforest, the largest of Earths remaining rainforests, contains one-fifth of the worlds freshwater and produces more than 20 percent of the worlds oxygen. As the environmentalists and conservationists have been asking for years, can we really afford to continue cutting down trees? 41. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage? A. The Economic Impact of Deforestation B. Deforestation: Is It Inevitable? C. Deforestation: Cause and Effect D. The Controversy over Deforestation 42.
