Deforestation is the permanent removal of trees and forests to make way for other land uses, such as agriculture, urbanization, or infrastructure development. It is primarily driven by human activities and has significant environmental consequences, including habitat destruction, loss of biodiversity, soil erosion, and climate change. Deforestation can be measured in terms of the total area of forest lost over a specific period, usually expressed in hectares or acres. Efforts to combat deforestation include sustainable forest management, reforestation, and conservation initiatives.
