The Devastation That Is Deforestation

As human beings, we have to take action of issues that spread quickly in this global world. There are so many problems that we should be responsible for, especially about our environment. The truth of nowadays is that our nature not as good as the old day where we could easily found it. Common people do not always take a look at these issues, while at the same time we lose so much. And we have to pay our attention to our issue of deforestation.

What is deforestation?

As livescience.com mentioned, deforestation is the permanent destruction to make the land available for other uses. But on the other hand, deforestation is not only about land or forest reduction in some cases that as human beings have. It is about who is caused by this damage and how we — as a human being, construct to fulfilling our needs in the future? Forest, it is not only about an ecosystem that has an asset. But the forest is our source of life, it is should be keeping an eye for it. Because we have to realize that as human beings, we owe to nature.

Deforestation, to make the land for other uses, can not 100% avoided, as a human being we breed and need a place to live. The main purpose is to have a house to live in. But in other parts of this world, is the deforestation is a solution? The fact is deforestation has a high risk of life. There must be climate change, loss of species, damage to the water system, etc. With these risks, imagine our life will never as good as should be. Why? Because all of its risks will have a bad effect on our life quality. And will we as a human being benefited by this case? The answer is no.

In 2019, deforestation was talked over by citizens in Indonesia. This deforestation is caused by a forest fire in Kalimantan Province and Sumatera Province. This forest fire is very restless for its people in those provinces, and it was worried by Indonesian people. Moreover, because of this tragedy, Indonesia has spread the haze to another country like Malaysia and Singapore.

As washingtontime.com declared, the haze is not only unhealthy, thousands of people have reported acute respiratory illness, but it has a wide impact, disrupting air travel and prompting the closing of the school. It cost people a lot, the environment should not run like that. As human beings, we have to realize that the only factor that should keep nature is us — humans.

As a generation who will live in this beautiful world, not for a while, we supposed to realize that nature can’t be exploited over and over again. There should be harmony between inhabitants of the earth, even human beings or animals with nature. Because when the ecosystem was disturbed or even ruined, there will be a broken chain in the balance of nature. The real inhabitants of the earth are actors who create balance in nature. That is so pathetic when we live on this earth but we act nothing to keep this old earth alive. Nature will always provide our needs, we must be thankful.

Love nature, love earth, love our future.
