The conflict between environment protectors and forest exploiters has intensified in 2022. This is because of increased human activity in forested areas. Deforestation, which is the complete removal of forests and other forest resources, has threatened human existence for years now. However, the commercial felling of trees to make products has also intensified today. If you look at the effects of deforestation, you’ll see that illegal logging has almost the same impact on the environment.

According to the UN Global Forest Goals Report of 2021, forests currently cover close to 31% of the global land area. However, only 1.11 billion hectares are covered by native or primary forests that are largely undistributed. Even worse, the world is continually losing its forests at a fierce rate, with about 420 million hectares lost to deforestation since 1990. Deforestation is a major environmental issue. Pixabay Trees play a major role in preserving wildlife, reducing the pace of climatic change, and supporting billions of lives.

Introduction

Out of the 250 million people living by the coast globally, only less than 5 million are above sea level. Unfortunately, the global sea level has continued rising over the last century, and the rate has only increased in recent years. This rise in sea levels means that destructive storm surges will continue pushing further inland than ever before, resulting in frequent flooding.
