Deforesation is exactly what it sounds like. It is the removal of forests to use the land or wood for profit.

Trees are the main defense against Carbon Dioxide because they are giant plants that breathe it. C02 both destroys the ozone layer and makes it hard for animals to breathe. If animals(including us) can't breathe, we will die. If the ozone layer gets destroyed, the planet will heat up drastically and most living things will die.

So many species live in forests. If the forests don't exist, those animals don't have homes, and they will die. This is extremely bad for biodiversity.

It is mostly because large farming companies want to use the fertile land.

Deforestation can be stopped if we stop supporting the companies that are doing it. Those companies are those doing things such as producing lumbar, farming meat, and making paper. This can be done by using less wood, perhaps use some candles instead of a log campfire. Going to a vegan or vegetarian lifestyle helps fight the large corporations doing deforestation as well. Lastly using recyled paper instead of freshly made paper reduces the amount of trees being massacred for paper.
