Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Destroys forest ecosystems, depriving wildlife of natural habitats and decreasing biodiversity. Still, fauna can return to the area when the forest is renewed. Increases the risks of soil erosion. Trees slow down water currents, preventing rill formation, this is why clear-cutting increases erosion.
