The Dangers of Parallel Development

What puts our national parks/forests in danger you may ask. It is easy to assume pollution and our lack of "going green" could put these parks at risk, however, I feel differently. Of course, pollution does play a factor in the danger of our National forests, but the constant development of housing and buildings being built horizontally rather than vertically will soon be the death of many parks. It is truly inevitable to stop such rapid growth and development and the persistent urge to expand our cities only puts our forests at a higher risk. There are plenty of groups trying to protect our forests and stop deforestation but it is only matter of time before our levels of oxygen are depleted to a minimum and we must gasp for air in our last few breaths. Yes, this is a slight dramatization, but the problem with our endangered National Forests is no joking mater. Development parallel to our Earth affects our forests and ultimately our entire ozone level and world.
