What Are The Causes Of Deforestation?

Everything is caused by some thing or some one, including deforestation. There are many reasons why deforestation is happening. These are the reasons why.

One reason why deforestation is happening is because of urbanization. Countries all over the world are having difficulties of over population. This means they need more land. To get more land some countries will cut down a large piece of forests, then will build houses on these pieces of land. Countries also run out of room when making roads, this also results in the loss of forests.

Another reason why deforestation is happening is because of wood. When trees are cut

down they are made into many other things. These things are paper, matchsticks, furniture, house frames, and fuel. To make fuel they use fire wood and charcoal. One thing about logging is that it is illegal in some places. People still do it because they need money to support them self and for there family.

One other reason why deforestation is happening is because of farming. Cattle ranching is a main reason of farming. When the cow's, sheep, goats, and other cattle graze, they sometimes run out of room, or eat to much and is forced to move. When there is no room they find forests and make room there. Also crops hurt the forests. When the soil gets bad and they run out of space they turn to the forests. The forests have lots of room and have very fertile soil.
