Deforestation is the purposeful clearing of forested land. Throughout history and now forests have been used to make space for agriculture, grazing animals, and obtaining wood for fuel. Forests are not only being used for manufacturing but also for construction. Deforestation represents one the largest issue in global land use, Earth`s croplands which cover about 49m sq km (18.9 m sq miles) are mostly deforested lands. Deforestation is when humans remove forests for lumbers to use the land where the trees stood for crops, grazing, extraction, mining oil or gas, and also developments as the population increase as the people migrate.
Besides, it causes agricultural expansion, wood extraction, and infrastructure expansion mostly used for road building and urbanization.
