Report | Deforestation and its devastating consequences/ bad effect of indiscriminate cutting trees.

Staff Correspondent: Flooding on a massive scale may soon become the norm, and development in the already poor and developing country like Bangladesh might come to a dramatic halt, says the experts. The experts observed this at a seminar organized by the Daily Star yesterday. “What we seem to be looking at with the floods is a remarkable collapse of the Himalayan ecosystem,” said A. Atiq Rahman, Director of the Institute for Advanced Studies in Dhaka. The speakers at the seminar said the adverse impact of deforestation on climate has been noticed conspicuously. The humidity of air has been drastically reduced which affects the rainfalls in the country. If reforestation programmers are not taken. There is \every possibility that Bangladesh will turn into a desert within a short span of time. They also said the government and the private organizations must come forward. There is a universal formula on reforestation that when you cut one tree. Plant two more trees to compensate the loss.
