Answer:

Deforestation is the reduction in forest area with the clearing, destroying, or otherwise removal of trees for human facilitation

The loss of trees and other vegetation can cause climate change, desertification, soil erosion, fewer crops, flooding, increased greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, and a host of problems for indigenous people.

The primary anthropogenic activities (human activities) that contribute to deforestation include:

  • Agriculture – small-scale and large scale farming
  • Logging – cutting of trees for use as raw material
  • Mining and urban expansion – clearing of forest area for the construction of infrastructure.
