Vital Hazard Human beings harm against nature turns to be an undeniable issue. That has been happening in numerous ways for years, one of which is deforestation. Cutting down all the trees in a large area is called as deforestation. There are several reasons for damaging the forests. However, the most significant factor is human activities. These activities have some severe effects on forests. As indicated in “Deforestation: World Revolution”, today 31 million hectares of rain forests are destroyed every year which corresponds to area that is bigger than Poland (2003). Deforestation appears to be a significant issue and activated by following factors: shifting cultivation, commercial logging and clear-cutting.

This is generally triggered by lack of land and government activities. First, some peasants without land for farming might cause deforestation. Based on the Smith’s article “Politics and Deforestation”, peasants who have no field in their homelands, settle in forests for farming intentions. A political regulation about distribution of lands causes this situation (n.d.). Furthermore, government activities may bring about deforestation as well. Supporting immigration for the purpose of production increase is an example for these acts. They intend to raise revenues in this way without paying attention to nature. In brief, clear cutting in forests strikingly accelerate
