The clearing of forests for other land uses.

Gases that trap heat in the atmosphere, contributing to global warming.

The variety of life in the world or in a particular habitat or ecosystem.

Increased soil erosion leads to sedimentation and pollution of waterways, harming aquatic ecosystems.

Deforestation releases stored carbon into the atmosphere as CO2, increasing greenhouse gas concentrations.
