The world's forests become smaller and smaller. People are still cutting down the trees. Why is this happening? There are two reasons---land and wood.

People need land for animals and crops. People want wood, too. People in every country need wood to build buildings or make furniture.

But most places in the forests are not good for animals or crops. The soil in the forests is very thin. When trees are cut down, rain will wash away the soil and wind will also blow away soil. Soon there is nothing left but sand. Then we will need more land, and we will have to cut down more trees.
