Deforestation is a real problem everyone wants to live in very well developed place with skyscrapers and all of that but it all comes with a price "deforestation" but then am not against development and total urbanisation but the presence of trees shouldn't be a draw back for development. What's my point? Early this year if am not mistaken was mared with hurricane after hurricane and tsunami but what if they went through a forest reserve first before hitting residential areas would it's impact not be reduced? Sources of natural disasters relating to wind and water are pretty defined I think it's time the world considered strategic afforestation to reduce the impact of natural disasters relating to wind and water.
