Deforestation refers to the large-scale removal of forests, often driven by human activities. This issue has severe consequences for ecosystems and the planet. Here's a breakdown of its causes and impacts:

🚨 Causes of Deforestation

  • Agricultural Expansion ⚠️ (e.g., palm oil, cattle ranching)
  • Logging for Timber ⚠️
  • Infrastructure Development ⚠️ (e.g., roads, cities)
  • Mining Activities ⚠️

🌍 Impacts of Deforestation

  • Loss of Biodiversity 🐺 (Habitats destroyed, species extinction)
  • Climate Change 🌡️ (Carbon sequestration reduced, CO₂ emissions rise)
  • Soil Erosion ⛅ (Vegetation loss destabilizes land)
  • Disruption of Water Cycles 🌧️ (Less rainfall, drought risk)
