Detailed explanation-1: -Deforestation is the purposeful clearing of forested land. Throughout history and into modern times, forests have been razed to make space for agriculture and animal grazing, and to obtain wood for fuel, manufacturing, and construction.
Detailed explanation-2: -Direct causes of deforestation are agricultural expansion, wood extraction (e.g., logging or wood harvest for domestic fuel or charcoal), and infrastructure expansion such as road building and urbanization. Rarely is there a single direct cause for deforestation.
Detailed explanation-3: -Plant a Tree where you can. Go paperless at home and in the office. Buy recycled products and then recycle them again. Buy certified wood products. Support the products of companies that are committed to reducing deforestation. Raise awareness in your circle and in your community. More items
