How do humans contribute to deforestation?

Answer 1

Human activities cause deforestation through a variety of means. Land degradation, which leads to deforestation, can occur due to poor farming activities, livestock, vehicle off-roading and pollution - all human activities Clear cutting or logging activities also contribute to the ever increasing rate of deforestation - obviously a human activity Acid rain adversely affects plant growth and hence contributes to deforestation Slash and burn activities to clear forest land for agricultural use or to keep livestock contributes to deforestation and is also a human activity Urban development, whereby trees are cut and forests are cleared to make room to build houses a cause of deforestation - human activity

Answer 2

Humans have a significant affect on the rainforests. Due to the increasing human population, many portions of the rainforest have been cut down and urbanized in order to make room for homes, stores, and goods for the human race. The pollution from the usage of fossil fuels and other resources also impacts the health of the rainforest.

Answer 3

deforestation have several harmful consequences on human life.

first of all , as trees provide oxygen and take in the excess carbon dioxide , it provides us oxygen. if trees will not be there then we will inhale maximum amount of carbon dioxide and will die of suffocation. then second point is , that excess of carbon dioxide traps excess of sunlight as carbon dioxide is the greenhouse gas , and is one of the main cause of global warming which can result in glacier melting which as a result will flood low lying areas. trees absorb carbon dioxide , if trees will not be there , then amount of carbon dioxide will increase and the day will not be far when our entire earth will drown in water.

Trees also provide us most of the essential fruits and vegetables along with cash crops such as rubber ,jute etc. if trees will not be there then we will also not be able to get the timber and paper for our use.

There are many harmful consequences to nature also , if rate of deforestation will not decrease then , our earth will end for sure.
