  • The removal of a forest or a stand of trees from land that is later converted to non-forest usage is known as deforestation or forest clearing.
  • Forest land can be converted to farmland, ranches, or urban usage, which is known as deforestation.
  • Tropical rainforests see the highest levels of deforestation.
  • Forests now encompass around 31% of the Earth's land surface.
  • This is a third less forest cover than existed before to the spread of agriculture, with half of that loss occurring in the previous century.
  • Every year, between 15 million and 18 million hectares of forest are lost, equivalent to the size of Belgium. Every minute, around 2,400 trees are felled.
