Deforestation is the permanent removal of trees from a forest, resulting in a loss of forest cover.

Forest degradation is the selective removal of trees from a forest, resulting in a loss of forest quality.

The main causes of deforestation are agriculture, logging, mining, and other human activities.

The main causes of forest degradation are selective logging, forest fires, climate change, and other human activities.

The consequences of deforestation include loss of biodiversity, climate change, soil erosion, and other negative impacts.
