    Deforestation is the cutting down and clearing of trees in forests, and the major countries affected are Brazil, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Indonesia. It is primarily caused by cutting trees for timber, clearing land for ranching and agriculture. The consequences of deforestation include increased global warming, soil erosion, flooding, wildlife extinction, and drought. Possible solutions involve planting more trees, reducing paper usage, supporting responsible companies, buying certified wood, recycling, educating others, and avoiding palm oil which contributes to deforestation.
