Deforestation in the current scenario may have reduced; however, it would be too early to assume. The money-Churner nature of forest resources can be tempting enough for deforestation to continue. 2.Banning Clear-Cutting of Forests This will curb the total depletion of the forest cover. It is a practical Solution and is very Feasible. 3.Reforestation and Afforestation Land skinned of its tree cover for urban settlements should be urged to plant trees in the vicinity and replace the cut trees.
