Landslides happen regardless of the responsible management practices of a few humans. People who spend their whole working lives researching what is a landslide, were do they happen, what causes landslides, how to stop landslides have been saying for many years that landslides are caused by slippage of earth and rock down a mountain. Sometimes this is caused by unstable mountainsides. Other times it is caused by people who cut down the trees on a mountainside that previously was stable enough to avoid landslides. The management of the Earth is part of the reason that landslides happen but not the only reason
