Question
Explain the reasons behind deforestation.
✓
Answer
Population explosion: Large areas of forests have been cleaned for agriculture, factories, road and rail tracks, industries, mining and quarrying have seriously affected the forest. Expanding agriculture is one of the most important causes of deforestation. As demands on agricultural products rise more and more land is brought under cultivation for which forests are cleared, grass-lands ploughed, uneven grounds levelled, marshes drained and even land under water is reclaimed. Forest fires also destroy trees, seeds and the animal life. A part from these Grazing and gnawing mammals trample the young plants, and damage their trunks and roots. Deforestation can endanger our life and environment.
