Deforestation Deforestation is the clearing/destruction of forests or other wooded areas through logging or clearing of land. There are many reasons people to do these things, some of the main reasons are the following: Trees or charcoal from trees can be sold to  humans, clearing land for pastures or plantations, surprisingly one of the main  reasons for deforestation is that people just do not think about what they are doing  and greedily cut it all down. Dropping bombs, especially nuclear bombs, is another cause of deforestation. Something to think about: There are over 25 countries in both North and Central America. Each one has its own reason for deforestation in their place. Some of such countries are Mexico, Canada, Dominica, Costa Rica, Honduras, and the United States. Which are examples of the ones considering deforestation in their areas. In all of North and Central America there is 549,304 hectares of forest area in 2,136,966 hectares of total land area. Of all 17,533 hectares is plantation area. Seven of the forests existing in these continents are in danger of being deforested. Mostly they are threatened by logging, mining, and pollution. There are many cultures that are being vanished along with the forests. Along with all of that could be a plant that could give a cure for cancer or even help end world hunger. Some possible solutions to the problem of deforestation is to try and raise the standard of living in these countries so that people don’t have to  destroy the environment just to put food on the table for their families. To raise the standard of living in these countries we would need to make sure that everyone had  access to education so that they could get/make jobs that did not involve  deforestation.======
