The most common cause of deforestation is human removal of trees for lumber and/or to change the use of the land to farming. This was common in the early settlement of the US. In Brazil, and other rain forest areas, this change is less than ideal since the soil is not suitable for successful agriculture.

Deforestation is happening quick in Brazil. Many people think that the indigneous people cause the forest to disappear. The wild life in the forest are dying because of the deforestation. It is not the human races fault, it is also because of acid rains. Sometimes because of slash and burn or wild fires. Also it's the animals fault because they tecnicly eat most of the wild plants. Also the scientists or indignious people use the plants as medicines and or food. Cures for special diseases like snake bites, rashes, and other things.

Deforestation is caused by humans and natural changes on earth.

On the natural side, as the tectonic plates have moved, mountains form and erode, rainfall patterns change, and forests respond to these changes over long periods of time. If a place was wet and warm enough for one type of tree, but the climate changed, such as during an Ice Age, those trees might not be able to continue to live in that place. Another tree might fare better, or none at all.

Humans, termites, woodpeckers, forest fires, wood rot, fungus, competition with other plant life for sunlight, erosion, mudslides, earthquakes, volcanoes, hurricanes, floods, and natural life cycles.

Human causes of deforestation mainly include

  • cutting trees for using the wood, called timber harvesting or logging, and
  • clearing forests to make way for agriculture of plants and/or animals.
  • Forests may be cut down to make room for expanding cities, too.
  • When people need to expand their space they tear down unused places, rip up trees from their homes, kill animals' habitats, and not even use the wood.
  • building new roads, cattle ranching etc.
  • Urban sprawl
  • logging
  • mining
  • infrastructure
  • plantation - crops
  • wood or timber
  • urbanization
  • cultivation
  • the reason behind is the metro cities are becoming bigger and bigger day by day. the people from villages are coming to big cities because they are not getting the facilities in the villages which they need. so to make houses the trees are been cutting down, so to make houses, malls, cinemas etc. for the people.

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. Every particle of carbon dioxide that is emitted into the air adds to the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere: this results in global warming.

Logging companies, acid rain, "global warming", and many more. Many things can be tied to causing deforestation, especially pollution.

The reasons behind most deforestation is because of many things. each cause is equally as bad. Wood is cut down for furniture and fuels. Firewood and coal are things made from wood which are used for cooking/heating etc. Loggers have a great role in deforestation, illegal and legal. Loggers cut down the trees for more space and wood for anything whatsoever!

The wood has many purposes and one of the most important ones is to help animals hide from poachers who intend to kill them! Don't take their habitat away from them. How would you like to live without a roof over your head?

Some forests are cut down for the benefit of crops and cattle. The cattle aren't placed there to work and gain, only to graze. The cheek!

Over-population is another cause of deforestation because the more people and less houses = cutting down trees to build new houses/properties for people. The government sometimes cuts down trees to make room/space for roads, which means more cars and more pollution. forests are cut down because sometimes, big industries need the space for factories to be built. Mines are also built on empty forest scapes. However, although most of the causes are 'man made', deforestation can be caused by natural disasters. Sometimes, natural forest fires start up by themselves and burn all the trees to ash. Other times, people may set fire to the trees on purpose.

one should do something before it is too late. yeah you should
The causes of deforestation are related primarily to human activity, such as logging and farming.
Logging

Though deforestation can be caused by natural disasters, systematic deforestation is caused by man with our need for wood, cultivatable and habitable land
Some natural and unnatural causes of deforestation include:

  • urban sprawl
  • to clear land for crop growing
  • for resources
  • for fuel
  • forest fires
  • drought
  • volcanic eruptions

Deforestation means the removal of trees. It's taking place because trees are cut down to be sold as timber. Trees also are removed to create more land for farming, road building and housing.
