Deforestation
Clearing earths forest, big amounts at a time. Most causes of deforestation is due to a need in money or people providing for their families. The biggest drivers of deforestation is agriculture. Also farmers cut down trees in order for space to plant their crops or raising livestock. Wildfires may be a cause that does not have to do with humans. There are many effects on the environment but loss of habitat for millions of species is the most dramatic. If there are less trees then carbon will be more in the environment and the earth will be less healthy then it already is.
Removal of trees
Fewer forest means larger amounts of greenhouse gases and these gases are not good. Removing trees deprives the forest of portions of its canopy, which blocks sun rays during the day and at night time holds the heat. Solution to deforestation would be to simply stop cutting down trees. The reason for continuing deforestation is because humans in this time need more space and they don't see what their doing to the earth by cutting down trees.
