Deforestation
Deforestation is a major problem in Tropical Moist Forests. Deforestation can be caused by fires, illegal logging, and fuelwood harvesting. Fires can be beneficial to nature, but not when they are started in the wrong the wrong place and the wrong time. They can wipe out too much of the forest. There are protected areas used to regulate the trade of timber. Some people don't care that the areas are protected and collect wood anyway for money. This is called Illegal Logging. Deforestation is also caused by fuelwood harvesting, we all need wood for our fires and other things, but we are getting too much wood.
