this is because--------
1. it leads to deforestation ,soil erosion and evn landslides.
2.it also causes an increse in co2 in that area ,as trees are burnt and cut down.
3.as the trees are cut the rate of transpiration is less....affecting rain ,this in turn reduces growth of plant.
Hope this will help you.... ✌
