The problems with deforestation

There are a lot of problems when it comes to deforestation, it can have a lot of negative impacts on the environment such as loss of habitat for millions of species, eighty percent of earths land animals and plants live in forests, and many cannot survive the deforestation that destroys their homes. Deforestation also drives climate change. Its clearing earths forests on a massive scale, often resulting in damage to the quality of the land. Forests still cover about 30 percent of the worlds land area, but swaths half the size of England are lost each year.

The worlds rain forests could completely vanish in a hundred years at the current rate of deforestation. The biggest issue with deforestation is agriculture. Farmers cut forests to provide more room for planting crops or grazing livestock. Most of the time, small farmers will clear a few acres by cutting down trees and burning them in a process
