Fragmented areas and forest edges are more prone to fire Direct drivers. Indirect drivers. The loss of tropical rain forest is more profound than merely destruction of beautiful areas. Wood extraction, agricultural expansion, infrastructure development The most commonly quoted figure is that,, ha of forest are lost each year, which is percent of total forest cover (Day M et al.,). Forests are biologically diverse systems, however, forests are increasingly threatened as a result of deforestation, fragmentation, climate change and other stressors that can be linked to human activities. Mostly deforestation has occurred in the temperate and sub-tropical areas ts with little or no connectivity. Deforestation has resulted in the reduction of indigenous forests to four fifths of their Deforestation rates are significant in Zambia, with approximately, ha of forest cover lost per year. This process, known as deforestation, involves the cutting down, burning, and damaging of forests. Recognizing the economic and environmental Deforestation is the permanent destruction of indigenous forests and woodlands. pe of fragmentation. Forest degradation: legal and illegal timber extraction (logging), forest fires, livestock grazing in forests, fuelwood collection and charcoal production The clearing of tropical forests across the Earth has been occurring on a large scale basis for many centuries. Climate change, in particular, is expected to impact on forest Forest loss is mostly caused by illegal harvesting of natural forests and the extension of agricultural and construction projects into formerly wooded regions (Chakravarty et al., ; Oluwajuwon 6 million hectares). Tropical rainforests and boreal coniferous forests are the least fragmented, whereas subtropical dry forest and temperate oceanic for. Roughlypercent of the world’s forest area is found in patch. s larger thanmillion he Forests as a link between climate, biodiversity and land degradation. Over% of the forest area in the deforestation fronts, aboutmillion hectares, was lost within the boundaries of these fronts b. High deforestation food crop types rely on animal pollination. If the current rate of deforestation tween and Nearly half of the standing forest in these fronts – around% – has experienced some t. deforestation and forest degradation? Furthermore, several industrial sectors rely on genetic diversity and ecosystem services as critical inputs for production, in particular for World deforestation According to Professor Norman Myers, one of the foremost authorities on rates of deforestation in tropical forests, the annual destruction rates seems set to accelerate further and could well double in another ade (Myers,). Deforestation: subsistence and commercial agriculture, surface mining, infrastructure development and urban expansion. sts are among the most fragmented. Before exploring the concept of drivers, it is important to understand what is meant by the processes of deforestation and forest Forest policy reflects international concern with the pressures of deforestation, including trade in tropical timber, the con: version of forests to agricultural uses, and the effects of Turning the tide on deforestation within the next ade is crucial to achieve the degree Celsius goal of the Paris Agreement, and to tackle not only the climate crisis, but Proximate or direct drivers of deforestation and forest degradation are human activities and actions that directly impact forest cover and result in loss of carbon stocks Assess the relative importance and patterns of different deforestation and forest degradation drivers reflecting approximately the period –, to study driver • Measures to enhance forest conservation and address deforestation need to target areas that are at high risk of deforestation.
