With the increasing demand for wood fuels and building materials‚ this process helps to meet these demands without cutting down the natural forests. Deforestation can lead to the depletion of trees in water catchments and riverside zones. Afforestation ensures trees and plants

Tropical rainforests are currently a habitat that is currently experiencing serious losses. Some major reasons why the rainforest are having serious losses are because of agricultural expansion‚ urbanization‚ and the extraction of wood. Currently‚ the biggest cause is agricultural expansion which turned the forest into pastures and cropland to meet the growing needs for food. A study shows that more than 80 percent of the new farmland created in the tropics between 1980 and 2000 came from forests
