Defore

station is the large-scale clearing of forests for human activities, primarily for agriculture, logging, mining, and urban expansion. This has devastating consequences for the environment, including the loss of biodiversity as countless species lose their habitats, and the acceleration of climate change due to the release of stored carbon dioxide. The removal of tree roots also leads to soil erosion, which degrades the land and disrupts water cycles, increasing the risk of floods and droughts. While the rate of deforestation has slowed in some regions due to conservation efforts, it continues at an alarming pace globally, with significant impact in tropical areas like the Amazon and Southeast Asia.vv
