Deforestation leads to the loss of biodiversity and contributes to climate change. Many plants and animals will lose their natural habitat. Trees stabilizes soil and regulating water cycles. Removing it raises the risk of flooding. Deforestation is caused by agricultural expansion, urban expansion and infrastructure development. To prevent this from happening the government can create strict laws to protect forests.

I completely agree, the government needs to act now if we want to prevent the environmental crisis from getting any worse. Governments around the world could implement laws in order to protect the forests. These could include: Making all parks open to the public and unavailable for big corporations to purchase. Banning all open fires during the dry season and not allowing anything that could combust in the area. And putting regulations on how much land each company can own.
