Deforestation

Real World Example

During Europe's Transition period, deforestation was significant as it provided land for agriculture and resources for building and fuel, supporting growing populations and development. It responded to the need for more farmland and timber, crucial for economic expansion and urbanization. However, this also led to concerns about resource depletion and environmental changes. Today, deforestation remains important because it affects global climate change, biodiversity, and local communities. For instance, cutting down forests for agriculture can lead to habitat loss, impacting both wildlife and people who rely on the forest for their livelihoods, such as those living near the Amazon rainforest.
