Detailed explanation-1: -The most common pressures causing deforestation and severe forest degradation are agriculture, unsustainable forest management, mining, infrastructure projects and increased fire incidence and intensity.
Detailed explanation-2: -Expansion of agricultural land, industrial land, or cutting of forest trees for residential purposes, grazing purposes are the man-made causes of deforestation. Urbanization also contributes to deforestation.
