what is deforestation
Answers
Answer:
Deforestation refers to the decrease in forest areas across the world that are lost for other uses such as agricultural croplands, urbanization, or mining activities.
The definition of deforestation is cutting down and removing all or most of the trees in a forest. An example of deforestation is when trees are removed in fast growing portions of South Africa to build houses, for agricultural purposes and to allow for clear grazing for farm animals.
Ordinary people can help stop deforestation by eating less meat, avoiding single-use packaging, eating sustainable food, and choosing recycled or responsibly-produced wood products. They can also go paperless at home or in the office, recycle products, and avoid palm oil and planting trees.
