The major causes of deforestation include agricultural expansion, logging, mining, infrastructure development, and wildfires. These activities lead to the clearing of forests for various purposes, resulting in the loss of biodiversity, disruption of ecosystems, and release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, contributing to climate change.
