Deforestation

Deforestation is a process generally caused by human action, which destroys the forest area. 
Cutting trees without efficient reforestation results in serious damage to habitat, biodiversity loss and aridity. It has an adverse impact on the fixation of carbon dioxide (CO2). Deforested regions tend to soil erosion and frequently degrade unproductive land.
Deforestation causes extinction, changes to climatic conditions, desertification, and displacement of indigenous populations.
