Solution

Deforestation is the large scale cutting - off of the trees by people for various personal or communal intentions. Several purposes include requirement of raw materials from forest, expanding land for agricultural use and housing, etc. In its effect, the land becomes barren and loses its fertility. As a consequence, birds and animals lose their shelter and breeding grounds, leading to the gradual extinction of species.
