Solution

The clearing of forests to obtain timber and provide space for either agricultural zones or urban development is called deforestation. When trees are felled, they release the carbon they are storing into the atmosphere. This carbon mingles with greenhouse gases from other sources and contributes to global warming. Due to massive global urbanization and agricultural development, deforestation is a major factor contributing to climate change. Deforestation is resulting in increase in concentration of pollutants in ecosystem.
