We live on Earth, the one and only planet that has life. It has been proven that the majority of the Earth’s surface has been covered with water, which is approximately 70% of the entire planet. The remaining 30% of the total surface area of Earth is made up of land, which consists of sand, trees, bushes lakes and ponds. However, based on National Geographic, at the current rate of deforestation, forests may be vanishing in less than 100 years. It is sad to say that deforestation has been occurring quite frequently around the world. We are lucky to have the Amazon rainforest as the largest tropical rainforest in the world, as they play a major role in reabsorbing carbon dioxide and producing oxygen. Tropical rainforests are also called ‘The Lungs of the Earth’. However, looking at the state of tropical rainforests in the world today, it is obvious that these resources have been heavily damaged.
As expected in the next 100 years, tropical rainforests will disappear in the future. This will cause permanent damage as the concentration of oxygen will be decreasing badly. Without oxygen, there would be no life. Human beings will be facing the shortage of oxygen and oxygen will become something that has to be

As trees grow, they help to eliminate carbon dioxide from the air and with the help of the trees and soil, new oxygen would be produced. The decreasing of trees will cause severe temperature changes. The average temperature in every part of the world will begin to drop drastically. Ice bergs in both North Pole and South Pole will begin to melt and tropical areas will be facing extreme heat wave. Surely, habitats in the North and South would not be able to survive for long due to the extreme weather. Studies have shown that global warming has become more and more severe throughout the years. If that is so, what will happen to our Earth 70 years
