Question

if you are living near the active volcano why does it refrain from deforesting the slopes of the volcano​

Answer 1

If we are living near the active volcano, they refrain us from deforesting the slopes of the volcano because to prevent from volcano ashes and the lava flowing out, so that it doesn't harm or kill anyone living nearby that active volcano. It'll gradually stop flowing after some hours. Hence, for the safety refrain yourself from deforesting the slopes of an active volcano.
