उत्तर
Deforestation refers to the removal or destruction of the forest cover of an area. It involves cutting down or clearing trees, which leads to the loss of forests. The main causes of deforestation in India include the growing demand for wood and other forest products by industries and the expansion of urban areas due to industrialisation, which necessitates clearing forests for human settlements. Deforestation results in several adverse impacts, such as a decrease in forest area, failure in flood control, and soil erosion, thereby affecting the environment and ecosystem adversely.
