Deforestation refers to the large-scale clearing of forested areas, fundamentally altering the natural landscape. It threatens biodiversity, contributes to climate change, and affects the lives of indigenous populations.
Why Should We Care?
- Climate Change: Forests act as carbon sinks. Their destruction releases CO2 into the atmosphere.
- Loss of Biodiversity: Many species lose their habitats, leading to extinction.
- Impact on Indigenous Communities: Many native cultures depend on forests for their livelihood.
