The primary driver behind deforestation is often agricultural expansion, including the demand for food and biofuels. Additionally, logging for timber, urban development, and infrastructure projects contribute significantly to forest loss. Climate change and industrial activities also exacerbate deforestation. This loss has critical consequences for biodiversity, carbon sequestration, and the overall health of ecosystems. Addressing deforestation requires implementing sustainable land management practices and enhancing conservation efforts to protect forested areas.
