Deforestation is the cutting of forest and converting the land into uncultivated non-forest land. It is done for several purposes such as converting the land into urban areas, land farms, ranches, and timberland. Deforestation is the physical change of land on local or regional level. The cause of deforestation is global warming. Forest are the storage of private goods, and public services such as carbon storage, conservation of biodiversity, water filtration, suppression of disease, timber and non-timber products, recreation and medicine. There are several other uses on private and regional level such as economic gains. Reducing emission from Deforestation and forest Degradation (REDD) in developing countries is doing work on climate policies. The purpose of doing this is to remove greenhouse gas and forest degradation. In short the anthropogenic activities are the main cause of deforestation and they are effecting our environment in verse ways. In response to public concern about benefits of forest that are lost due to deforestation, should make policies for the protection of protected areas, enforcement of forest laws, establishing programs for ecosystem services.
