Deforestation is the clearance of naturally occurring forests by logging and burning.
Deforestation occurs for many reasons: trees or derived charcoal are used as, or sold, for fuel or as a commodity, while cleared land is used as pasture
for livestock, plantations of commodities, and settlements.

There are many root causes of contemporary deforestation, including corruption of government
institutions, the inequitable distribution of wealth and power, population growth and overpopulation, and
urbanization. Globalization is often viewed as another root cause of deforestation, though there are cases in which the impacts of globalization (new flows of labor, capital, commodities, and ideas) have promoted localized forest
recovery.

Deforestation is ongoing and is shaping climate and geography.Deforestation is a contributor to global warming, and is often cited as one of the major causes of the enhanced greenhouse effect. Tropical deforestation is responsible for approximately
20% of world greenhouse gas emissions. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change deforestation,
mainly in tropical areas, could account for up to one-third of total anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions.
