May 2024. Deforestation is the permanent removal of trees from forests. It includes land clearing for farming, livestock, and timber use for fuel, building, and manufacturing. Causes of Deforestation: (1) Natural Causes of deforestation include wildfires, hurricanes, droughts, invasive species, tree diseases, and parasites. (2) Man-Made causes of deforestation include logging, agriculture, livestock farming, wood plantations, energy and mining activities, and urbanization. Effects of Deforestation include: (1) Biodiversity Loss: Animals lose their habitat and are unable to survive. (2) Soil Degradation: Loss of trees to fertilize the soil. (3) Global Warming: Tree logging releases carbon stored in trees into the atmosphere. In this slideshow, you will learn about the Definition, Causes, Effects, Mitigation Strategies, UN policy, and Global Statistics of Deforestation.
