  • Deforestation

  • deforestation is the destruction of forested areas, often as a direct result of human activity.
  • It has been practised by humans for thousands of years in order to use/spend trees for firewood, to clear land for growing crops and to provide land for rearing animals.
  • In Europe, the rate of clearance increased along the second half of the nineteenth century due by/for/to agricultural expansion.
  • In the twentieth century the highest/greatest concern was the loss of tropical rainforests due to deforestation.
  • Between/since/until 1960 and 1990 alone, one fifth of the world's rainforests were lost/disappeared.
  • The trend continues and currently 12 million hectares of tropical rainforest disappear each year, an area approximately the size of Englad.
  • Deforestation is included in the list of causes of the greenhouse effect.
  • Trees remove carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere through the process of photosynthesis.
  • Without the trees to do this, more CO2 remains in the earth's atmosphere.
  • Furthermore, burning of wood and carbon fossil fuels releases stored carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere, adding to atmospheric pollution.
