The rainforests in the tropical region of the Earth, which ranges from 23.5ºN to 23.5ºS latitude, could be completely gone in the next 100 years. The largest cause of deforestation is agriculture. Farmers use a technique called “slash and burn,” which is when smaller farmers cut down trees and burn them to clear an area for farming or for livestock to graze. Cutting down trees to use for paper and as firewood is another common act. This is sometimes illegal, and the people that do this (deemed “Loggers”) will often go to remote forests to cut wood. Natural forms of deforestation occur as well, such as wildfires.
