No problem, Lily
You see, Deforestation means cutting down the trees to a large extent be it forests, any barren land or trees we see on our way toschool every day.
Natural forests are being destructed to use the land for cultivation, building houses, factories, logging,making space for cattle grazing, extraction of oil,
mining, construction of dams or to obtain wood for making furnitureand using it as fuel.
Do you have a doubt, James??
Yes, I read information abot it. Would you like to know??
Yes Lily, I have always had doubts about Climate Changes? Do you know something about them??
Yes, I would be very glad to know some facts about Climate Change.
Welcome, James.
Climate change is a leading cause of deforestation. Extreme weather events like wildfires whichare responsible for an estimated 10% of degradation annually
droughts, and storm surges destroymillions of hectares of forest every year - and their intensity is only increasing with globalwarming.
