Abstract

Statement of the Problem: As we know forests play a vital function in the population and global environment. Some of their functions are a shelter of biodiversity, allowing food security, minimizing the effects of climate change, keeping our health by cleaning the air and etc... But people always cut a large portion of the forest without replacing it to use it for their purpose. And according to different research, this causes fewer crops, soil erosion, increased greenhouse gases, climate change, and others. And finally, those causes led us to drought, pollution, loss of species, and other natural disasters and the final outcome will be death. The purpose of the study is to explain the effects of deforestation and increase awareness of the society of deforestation’s negative outcomes by making educational videos. Methodology & Theoretical Orientation: Internet-based research method. Finding: We lose millions of hectares of forests annually, and the number still counts. And the consequences have been occurring. Conclusion & Significance: So, to minimize the loss of forests and save our lives, we have to do the disastrous results directly. That is why we prepare storytelling that shows how our lives depend on trees directly and tried to warn the world by comparing our lives with trees (cut one tree= kill one person). And we hope the video will have a great impact on reducing deforestation. Recommendations: life is good, so in order to live let's save and protect our trees.
