Solution

Indiscriminate cutting of trees may lead to following problems to the villagers:
  1. Large scale cutting down of forests affects the rainfall in the area. Due to indiscriminate cutting down of forests, the entire process of water cycle would get affected, which in turn would result in the reduction of rainfall. Hence, the villagers will find difficulty in agriculture.
  2. Forest provides shelter and food to animals. When forests are destroyed, it would force the animals to go to other places in search of food and shelter. Sometimes, wild animals enter villages and start attacking cattle and human beings.
