thereafter converted to a non-forest

conversion of forestland to farms,

DEFORESTATION (Agustín, Felipe C,
Francisco)
HUMAN CUSES (Agustín, Felipe C,
Francisco)
Some human causes of deforestation are :
• expanding cities,
• lack of farming land,
• cattle pastures needed to graze in.
When people cut down trees to expand land, every tree
they cut down is letting out carbon dioxide that has
been stored when they have done photosynthesis.
When people need place, they kill plants, trees and
animals, as well as t he habitat of these animals just to
expand their lands. logging mining
