Deforestation What is deforestation ? Deforestation is the destruction or depletion of the forest area (natural forests), usually due to human action through the felling or burning of trees, with the aim of gaining industrial inputs (such as the wood and paper industry, among others) or well arable land for agricultural work. Although deforestation is a process caused mainly by human activities, forests may sometimes suffer similar damage due to natural accidents, such as forest fires during drought or volcanic activity. In any case, deforestation is one of the most serious threats currently looming over the planet's forest masses. It threatens the home of millions of species and has a tremendous impact on soil deterioration and carbon fixation (a process directly related to photosynthesis by plants).
