Deforestation is usually caused by human activities like logging, agriculture, mining, and livestock grazing that destroy forests. Cutting down trees without effective reforestation damages habitats, reduces biodiversity, and increases aridity. It also negatively impacts carbon dioxide fixation and can lead to soil erosion and degraded, unproductive land. Large-scale deforestation is often due to neglecting forests' intrinsic value, mishandling reforestation efforts, and weak environmental laws. In many countries, deforestation causes extinction, weather changes, desertification, and displacement of indigenous peoples.
