Deforestation is the deliberate removal of forests to repurpose land for other uses. It is exacerbating the rate of climate change, which then leads to additional deforestation, thus creating a positive feedback loop. Forests are vital to the livelihoods of humans and animals alike, possessing plant life and animal life with uses that have still yet to be discovered. If destroyed, we risk eliminating the possibilities of future innovations along with a plethora of other issues. Simply put, a world without trees is a dark, grey world.
