Question 3(f)

Discuss the effects of deforestation on the next generation.

Answer

The effects of deforestation on the next generation will be:

  1. The next generation will likely face more extreme weather events, rising temperatures, and other climate-related challenges, impacting their quality of life.
  2. The next generation will lose biodiversity we are having today. Many species might go extinct before the next generation has a chance to understand and appreciate them.
  3. The next generation will face shortage of essential natural resources like wood, clean water, and medicinal plants.
  4. Increased pollution will affect air and water quality, leading to respiratory problems, waterborne diseases, and other health concerns for the next generation.
  5. Climatic changes and extinction of animals will lead to food scarcity for the next generation.
