No, deforestation and habitat loss are not environmental issues.

Instead, deforestation and habitat loss represent environmental problems. As environmental problems, deforestation and habitat loss may result from natural events, such as earthquakes and floods. Or they may be due to human intervention, such as logging, mining, and road building.

Either way, the problem becomes an issue when people try to identify responses or solutions. So in this case, the environmental issue becomes how best to protect and expand forest cover and natural habitats. Among the solutions that may be offered is afforestation.
