A bulldozer rumbles into a forest, pushing down trees and clearing the land. This can change everything — the homes of animals, the air we breathe, and the way people use the land. But why do people clear forests? And what are the positives and negatives of doing it?

👉 Your task:
Write an informative text about the pros and cons of clearing forests.

You should include:

• Why forests are cleared (e.g., farming, housing, building roads, logging).
• Pros (jobs, food production, new housing or resources).
• Cons (loss of habitats, less clean air, climate change, fewer trees for future generations).
• A conclusion that sums up what you think people should keep in mind when making these choices.

Why might a community want to clear land?

What are the immediate benefits to people?

What could the wood be used for?

What happens to the animals and plants that lived there?

How does cutting down trees affect the air and the climate?

Can you think of ways to balance human needs with protecting nature?
