Forest in our country are very rich in biodiversity. Many of our plants and animals could be found in the rainforests. It is due to the constant high temperature and humidity in the tropics. Unfortunately, many forests are threatened due to deforestation. The primary reason are commercial logging and cutting of trees to provide for their agricultural needs.
There are so many effects of deforestation in our country. Not only the giant trees will be lost but also the species living in the forests will disappear. Some of it are the tarsiers and the Philippine eagle. And we should not wonder why our country experiences consistent flashfloods and landslides."According to the recent reports of National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDMC) about 262,107 families have lost their homes while about 1.355 million people have been affected." Some negative consequences of deforestation also include the disruption of water cycle and climate change.
During the 20th century the Philippine Forests covers almost 70%. But due to massive forest exploitation, excessive annual cuts and weak reforestation efforts it dropped to less than 20%. Based on the analysis almost 9.8 million hectares of forests were lost. If deforestation won't be stopped there would come a time that the natural resources and biodiversity in forests will be lost. And if there would be continuous abuse of resources it is estimated than there would be no more rainforests left within 15 years.
We should make a move now. We should protect our environment. Let us restore our trees and save Mother Earth.

I agree that deforestation is a a huge environmental problem that our country must face. Not only it will affect the ecosystems that relies/lives in rainforests it could make the people living in the country suffer. One effect that it could cause to people living in the country is frequent calamities like landslides or soil erosion. That is why i think we as Filipinos must be aware and help in every little thing we can to stop deforestation.

Our government could not stop illegal logging. Why? Because they are just always very enthusiastically starting things but after some time quickly loses enthusiasm. Illegal logging could be stopped if they would continue to impose the necessary penalties to those concerned.
