What is deforestation?

Deforestation refers to the clearing, removal, or destruction of forests or woodland areas. It involves the permanent conversion of forested lands into non-forest areas for various reasons, including agriculture, logging, urbanization, or mining activities. This rampant destruction of forests has significant environmental implications as it results in the loss of valuable ecosystems, biodiversity, and contributes to climate change. Deforestation is a pressing global issue that requires concerted efforts and sustainable practices to mitigate its adverse effects on our planet.
