Deforestation is happening right now and it won't change unless someone does something. Currently the world's forests have been cut down to only cover 30% of the globe. Also a lot of that 30% is being harvested or burnt down. For the rainforests it is predicted that in 100 years they will be completely gone unless something changes. Things could also get worse and if they do those 100 years could be shortened to within your life time.
The biggest reason deforestation exists is agriculture. The part of it is called agriculture pollution. This type of pollution is caused by modern farming tools which affect the ecosystem. Some of the biggest part of this pollution is the pesticides and fertilizers. The pesticides are chemicals that are sprayed onto the crops to stop insects from harming them. These chemicals also affect the are that they are sprayed so they can hurt a lot of things once they contaminate water sources.
Some sources say that one and a half acres are cut down a second. Also the process and affect of deforestation is cause of 12 - 17 percent of green house gas emissions. Since plants such as trees take in carbon and expel oxygen threw photosynthesis that just means carbon dioxide is going to become a big problem to. One of the main things about deforestation is that if we lose more wildlife areas such as rainforests we will run into the problem of the Earth heating up with the green house affect possible to the point were significant global issues could start arising.
Deforestation is a world problem that is and has been happening for a while. You could help fix the problem by donating to a eco friendly company. I think that cutting down trees or forests isn't a problem so long that you replant them. Personally I think it's also going to be a real big problem when our planet is permanently altered. I think a good first step to this is to try and slow the agriculture pollution by changing the sprays to try and make them less harmful to the environment.
