Understanding Deforestation
Deforestation refers to the large-scale removal of trees, which results in damage to the quality of the land. This phenomenon is particularly threatening to the biodiversity of rainforests, which are home to 80% of the world's terrestrial animals and plants.
Major Causes
- Agriculture expansion
- Logging
- Infrastructure development
- Mining
Impacts on Ecosystem
Deforestation disrupts the habitat of countless species, leading to biodiversity loss. It also contributes significantly to climate change, as trees play a pivotal role in carbon sequestration.
