Deforestation significantly contributes to global warming by reducing the number of trees available to absorb carbon dioxide, a major greenhouse gas. The loss of forests also leads to soil degradation, diminished biodiversity, and disruption of local and global climate patterns. As trees are cut down and burned, carbon stored in their biomass is released into the atmosphere, exacerbating climate change. Preventing deforestation is essential for mitigating global warming and promoting environmental sustainability.
