Detailed explanation-1: -The most important environmental issue in Canada is deforestation and timbering. Canada’s land is more than half covered with large forests and this means that the timber industry is very large because of the vast amounts of trees. Since there are so many trees, people cut them down at a very fast rate.

Detailed explanation-2: -Soil Erosion and Water Cycles Poor forest management promotes soil erosion by increasing runoff and reducing the protection of the soil provided by tree litter. When tree cover thins, damp soils of the forest floor heat up and dry out, changing the forest’s delicately balanced ecosystem.

Detailed explanation-3: -Canada’s forests are some of the most biodiverse locations on Earth, but human activity threatens these vital ecosystems and puts wildlife habitats at risk. What’s more, deforestation drives dangerous carbon emissions, exacerbating the worldwide climate crisis.

Detailed explanation-4: -The major cause of deforestation in Canada is, in fact, the conversion of forest land to agriculture. Back in 1990, conversion of forest land to agriculture represented two-thirds of Canada’s total deforestation.
