What are the Causes of Deforestation?

Deforestation is the removal of forest stands by cutting and burning to provide land for agricultural purposes, residential or industrial building sites, roads, etc., or by harvesting the trees for build-ing materials or fuel. Oxidation of organic matter releases CO2 to the atmosphere, and regional and global impacts may result countries. Developing countries that are located in the green belt of the globe mainly depend on agriculture. The economy and subsistence of the population in these countries are based on the fertility and area of arable land. The agriculture is traditional and the yield per acre is very little. Moreover it is seasonal and cannot feed the targeted family up to the next season. Due to lack of awareness of family planning and many socio-economic conditions, every adult contributes to population growth regardless of resource limitations.
