What is deforestation? Why is it considered harmful?

Question 1

Question 2

The disappearance of forests is referred to as deforestation. Forests are cleared for industrial uses, cultivation, pastures and fuelwood.
Clearing of forests is harmful as forests give us many things like paper, wood that makes our desks, tables, doors and windows, dyes that colour our clothes, spices in our food, gum, honey, coffee, tea and rubber. They are the home of animals and birds.
Forests check soil erosion and denudation, sand dunes. They preserve our ecological diversity and life support systems.
