OBJECTIVE FORESTRY

Detailed explanation-1: -Deforestation is when humans remove or thin forests for lumber or to use the land where the trees stood for crops, grazing, extraction (mining, oil, or gas), or development as the population increases and people migrate.

Detailed explanation-2: -’Forest loss’ or ‘tree loss’ captures two fundamental impacts on forest cover: deforestation and forest degradation. Deforestation is the complete removal of trees for the conversion of forest to another land use such as agriculture, mining, or towns and cities.

Detailed explanation-3: -Deforestation or forest clearance is the removal of a forest or stand of trees from land that is then converted to non-forest use. Deforestation can involve conversion of forest land to farms, ranches, or urban use. The most concentrated deforestation occurs in tropical rainforests.

Detailed explanation-4: -Three-quarters is driven by agriculture. Beef production is responsible for 41% of deforestation; palm oil and soybeans account for another 18%; and logging for paper and wood across the tropics, another 13%. These industries are also dominant in a few key countries.
