Answer 2

The main factors of deforestation are:-

• Logging - The main reason for deforestation is logging, logging means cutting down trees due to commercial purposes. When a tree is cut down then the soil gets loose, as the tree's roots hold the soil tightly. It also leads to soil erosion.
• Agriculture - Due to agricultural purposes, many trees are wiped out, due to which the home for natural habitat is destroyed thus creating a mess in the environment.
• Infrastructure- Due to the increase in globalization and urbanization, many forests are wiped out to set up huge hubs, wildlife is getting shattered, and also it is one of the main reasons for global warming.
