Agricultural expansion, particularly for commercial farming and livestock grazing, is the leading cause of deforestation worldwide.

Deforestation reduces the number of trees that absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen, leading to lower atmospheric oxygen levels.

Deforestation reduces the amount of vegetation that absorbs carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, from the atmosphere, contributing to climate change mitigation.

Deforestation refers to the conversion of forest land to non-forest uses, such as agriculture, urbanization, or mining.

Converting cropland to forest increases carbon storage and reduces greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to climate change mitigation.

The burning of forests releases large amounts of carbon dioxide, a potent greenhouse gas, into the atmosphere.

Deforestation-induced climate change can lead to an increased frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, such as heatwaves, droughts, floods, and storms.

Deforestation reduces the capacity of forests to absorb and store water, leading to increased surface water runoff and soil erosion.

Agroforestry systems, which integrate trees and shrubs with agricultural crops, can help mitigate the impacts of deforestation-induced climate change by increasing carbon sequestration and reducing soil erosion.

Reforestation refers to the process of restoring degraded or deforested land to its natural state by planting trees.

Deforestation-induced climate change can lead to increased air pollution and respiratory diseases, particularly in urban areas.

Afforestation refers to the process of converting non-forest land to forest by planting trees.

Establishing protected areas and wildlife corridors can help conserve biodiversity and mitigate the impacts of deforestation-induced climate change on ecosystems.

Forest degradation refers to the process of reducing the rate of deforestation by implementing sustainable forest management practices and reducing forest loss.

Deforestation-induced climate change can lead to reduced water availability for irrigation, impacting agricultural productivity.
