Deforestation and climatic change
Deforestation is the permanent removal of trees to make room for something besides forest. This can include clearing the land for agriculture or grazing, or using the timber for fuel, construction or manufacturing.
Today, most deforestation is happening in the tropics. Areas that were inaccessible in the past are now within reach as new roads are constructed through the dense forests. A 2017 report by scientists at the University of Maryland showed that the tropics lost about 61,000 square miles (158,000 square kilometers) of forest in 2017 — an area the size of Bangladesh,(SD,2019).
Thus deforestation leads to the increase of greenhouse gases, reduce rate of rainfall which act as a source of climatic change in the global world wide
Even in most of African like some part of Kenya most of people engage in deforestation activities in order to make firewood,timber industry and construction activities which facilitate climatic change to the worldwide
