id=\"Tree_felling\"><\/span>Tree felling<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The indiscriminate and <strong>uncontrolled felling of trees for paper and other wood products<\/strong> contributes to the problem of deforestation.<\/p>\n<p>As well as the exploitation of forests in which no replanting programmes are carried out, which only satisfy the economic interests of individuals.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Forest_fires\"><\/span>Forest fires<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Its origin may be due to natural causes such as lightning in storms.<\/p>\n<p>They can also be caused by human intervention <strong>when accidental fire is spread by carelessness with cigarette butts<\/strong>, debris in the forest or <strong>fires <\/strong>in forbidden places.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Intensive_livestock_farming\"><\/span>Intensive livestock farming<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In livestock farming, thousands of hectares of land are affected by livestock.<\/p>\n<p>Because these animals <strong>feed on the soil for long periods of time<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>And after these soils are destroyed, the cattle are moved to another place.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Climate_change\"><\/span>Climate change<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Originated by the increase in temperature in areas prone to <strong>forest fires, torrential rain or electrical storms<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>This contributes to soil erosion and the destruction of forests, slowing down their regeneration in the areas concerned.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_action_of_pests_and_diseases\"><\/span>The action of pests and diseases<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Pests and their diseases are another natural cause<\/strong> capable of causing deforestation, generating serious conditions in trees, plants and soils.<\/p>\n<p>To control the action of pests and diseases it is necessary to implement control methods of chemical or biological type, to prevent their spread.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Non-compliance_with_forest_protection_measures\"><\/span>Non-compliance with forest protection measures<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Non-compliance or <strong>non-existence of protection measures in the forests can give way to defores<\/strong>tation, caused by uncontrolled actions in lands with large tree plantations in order to extract wood.<\/p>\n<p>And by the inadequate management of programs that support the protection of forests and

class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Deforestation considerably affects the capacity to absorb<sub> CO2 <\/sub>, since greenhouse gases cannot be absorbed by vegetation.<\/p>\n<p>Since<sub>
