Abstract :The environmental impacts of deforestation have emerged as a major concern of world community. These impacts may be observed in terms of climatic change, degradation of soil, irregularity in carbon cycle and increase in global warming. This paper analysed the impact of deforestation and the question of logging on the environment. Deforestation affects economic activity and threatens the livelihood and cultural integrity of forest-dependent people. However, in this paper, the researcher adopts the expository method in carrying out the work. The paper argues that cutting down trees for business has done more harm than good without proper reforestation. Deforestation is one of the major problems that can lead to global warming and the extinction of medicinal trees. Therefore, it is advised to review the policies made long ago to ban logging
