Deforestation and Desertification

Deforestation is the large-scale removal of trees from forests, often for agriculture or urban development, leading to habitat loss, increased carbon emissions, and disrupted water cycles. Desertification is the process where fertile land becomes desert due to factors like extreme weather, poor land management, and industrial activity. Both processes are significant environmental impacts of industrialization, as they contribute to climate change, threaten biodiversity, and diminish the land's productivity. Together, they pose serious challenges to ecosystems, wildlife, and human livelihoods, highlighting the need for sustainable practices in industrial activities.
