Explanation
Deforestation: Deforestation is the opposite of afforestation. It involves the clearing or removal of forests or trees from an area.

It disrupts ecosystems, accelerates soil erosion, and releases stored carbon dioxide, contributing to climate change. Deforestation is detrimental to the conservation of natural resources and has serious environmental consequences.
