Abstract: Deforestation has been happening for hundreds of years, but more recent changes have been taking place due to the process of clearing forests, caused by the increasing demand for resources, expanding agriculture boundaries, and poor consuming habits, forests are becoming a problem instead of a solution to the rapidly changing climate. As trees are cut down, more carbon emissions are released, weather patterns are changed, and ecosystems become more threatened than ever in human history. While deforestation rates are slowing, it is important to repair the damage that has been done before more changes take place.
