On Injustice Causes: human activity is behind most major causes of forest destruction Agribusiness - in which huge areas of forest are burned or cleared to make space for crops and livestock. Mining - not only requires clearing of forests but also contaminates forest ecosystems with pollution and runoff Logging - centuries-old trees are cut down to make timber or cellulose for the furniture or paper industry. Any system employed for wood cutting causes serious damage to the ecosystem, and these damages are amplified by construction of roads required for vehicles and to transport chopped timber to its destination.
