Deforestation is the process by which a significant extent of trees in a forested area is permanently removed. This phenomenon can be caused by human activities such as agriculture, urban expansion, mining, infrastructure development, and illegal logging, as well as by natural occurrences like forest fires and pests.

What is deforestation ?

Previous investigation

• Forests are crucial for climate regulation, soil conservation, flood protection, and water purification. They're vital for indigenous and local communities' livelihoods, providing food, medicine, and economic support.
• Deforestation is a global issue needing international collective action. Governments, businesses, and citizens worldwide must collaborate to enact policies for forest protection and sustainable development.

our point of view

Understanding deforestation at school is crucial to raise students' awareness of the urgency of preserving forests, as it provides knowledge about biodiversity, climate change and sustainable resource management. It prepares us to face the environmental challenges of the future as informed and engaged citizens.
