Answer:

Here are some reasons. i hope it helps you

Explanation:

  • The forest area is constantly decreasing, especially in the developing and underdeveloped countries. Some of the key causes of this include, need for agricultural space, wood, overgrazing, urbanization, etc.
  • In our quest for higher agricultural production, to satisfy our ever-increasing population, we are exploiting forest area and converting it to agricultural lands.
  • Our demand for wood is constantly increasing and a cheap source of wood are the forests.
  • In several areas, cattle consumes large portion of forest plants and thus destroys the cover. We also are rapidly expanding to accommodate our population and are acquiring more and more land.
  • We also obtain a large number of other resources from forests, including, animals, wood, fruits, etc.

Thus, to fulfill our needs, we are converting more and more forest cover to agricultural or urbanized lands, thus seriously damaging our forest cover.
