Deforestation refers to the clearing or removal of forests or trees from a particular land area, usually for commercial or agricultural purposes. This process involves the conversion of forested land into non-forested land, typically for human activities such as farming, ranching, mining, or urbanization. Deforestation is a significant environmental issue as it leads to the loss of biodiversity, contributes to climate change, and causes soil erosion and desertification. Deforestation also has a severe impact on local communities and indigenous populations who rely on forests for their livelihoods and cultural heritage.
