What is Deforestation?
Deforestation refers to the large-scale removal of forested areas, often resulting in damage to the quality of the land. This process can occur for various reasons, including agricultural expansion, logging, and urban development.
Causes of Deforestation: Focus on Urban Expansion
Urban expansion is a significant driver of deforestation. As cities grow to accommodate increasing populations, forests are often cleared to make way for residential, commercial, and industrial developments. This includes the construction of housing, roads, and other infrastructure
