Answer 2

The major cause of deforestation is the perceived need for more farmland. Farmers burn the rain forest in order to grow more crops. Another reason is climate change.
Pakistan's forest resources are decreasing at the rate of 1% per annum and this will have dreadful effects on the people and economy of Pakistan.

1: Large forest tracts are cleared to grow crops and to carry out mining. After the construction of dams and barrages which provide irrigation water,millions of hectares of land were cleared to meet the food requirement of the growing population.

2: Increasing urbanization also causes deforestation. Sprawling growth of cities has converted forest areas into residential colonies.

3: Due to increasing urbanization and industrialization, there is great demand for better transport facilities. In Pakistan road transport is preferred over other means of transport. The road transport network is getting larger and denser. In many areas lines through forests have been cut to make roads.

4: Pakistan has good domestic and foreign market for wood based products. Wood is used in industries like sports goods, chipboard, hardboard, veneer, plywood and safety matches. Wood is also required as a construction material for buliding. Bus bodies, boats and railway coaches also consume wood which results in excessive cutting of trees to meet the demands of industries.
