What is deforestation?

Deforestation is when you cut down a large area of forest for a purpose. Did you know that every 2 seconds, a football field of the forest is destroyed? There are two main ways of deforestation: clear-cutting and burning. Clearcutting is when you cut down a large area of the forest.  Burning is where you burn down a large area of trees for the land.
