What are the bad effects of Deforestation? Without trees we won’t have clean air. Then no one can live on earth. Medicine, shade and fruits only come from trees. So we won’t have any of them.

How can we prevent deforestation? We must buy a tree or get from your school and maintain that tree at our houses until its dead. Then we should take another one and do the same thing. This is a good habit and it can be little help to prevent deforestation.
