deforestation
含义: The clearing or removal of forests or trees from land, typically for agriculture, logging, or urban development.
Deforestation is a major driver of climate change, biodiversity loss, and soil erosion. Tropical deforestation, particularly in the Amazon and Southeast Asia, has attracted global attention. The term is almost always used with negative connotations, implying environmental destruction. It contrasts with reforestation and afforestation, which describe the planting of new trees.
