Deforestation has become a major problem of Nepal. It will be main obstacle for economic development of Nepal. If it is not controlled in time, it results in a number of adverse effects which are as outlined below:
i)Soil Erosion: Deforestation invites the problem of soil erosion and soil erosion becomes more intense and widespread. It is estimated that more than 240 million cubic meters of alluvium is wasted away every year from Nepal.
ii) Decline in Fertility: Due to soil erosion, fertile soil with organic contents is washed away. This brings about decline in land productivity reducing its fertility. It impoverishes the fertility of soil, which in turn leads to the diminution of agricultural productivity in the country.
iii) Ecological Imbalance: It adversely affects the climate, oxygen and carbon dioxide contexts and rainfall. It leads to the environment deterioration. It also happens irregular and uneven rainfall.
iv)Flood and Landslide: Due to continuous deforestation and soil erosion, which brings landslide and flood. It increases the frequency and intensity of floods in the Terai and aggravates the problems of soil erosion an landslides along hill and mountain slopes.
vi) Danger to wildlife: It brings about the gradual disappearance of wild animals and birds now present in the forests of Nepal. The tigers, elephants and one horned rhino have been disappearing in these days.
