Deforestation is the permanent destruction of indigenous forests and woodlands. The term does not include the removal of industrial forests such as plantations of gums or pines. Deforestation has resulted in the reduction of indigenous forests to four-fifths of their pre-agricultural area. Indigenous forests now cover 21% of the earth’s land surface. In a forest the crowns of individual trees touch to form a single canopy. In a woodland‚ trees grow far apart‚ so that the canopy is open.
